Die Wissenschaftsinitiative Kulturforschung fragt nach den historischen und kulturellen Grundlagen, Praktiken und Werten der Zivilgesellschaft im 21. Jahrhundert. Aus der Perspektive der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften verbindet die Initiative zwei anwendungsorientierte Forschungsschwerpunkte (Kunst & visuelle Kultur, Medienkultur & Kommunikation) mit einem starken Kernbereich Integrativer Kulturforschung. Beteiligt sind derzeit etwa 20 Professuren aus den Disziplinen Kunst, Medien, Philosophie, Geschichte, Literatur, Soziologie, Politik, Informatik und Geographie/Raumwissenschaft.
