Abstract: Abstract There has been a tendency to march off from the rising segregation of basic research, applied research and corporate research and development (R&D) towards a more dynamic and interactive process of generating interdisciplinary knowledge during recent decades. In this context a number of clusters of excellence were set up in 2006 under the German Excellence Initiative, including the RWTH Aachen cluster “Integrative Production Technology for High Wage Countries”. The cluster brings together academics from a wide variety of disciplines, principally those of production engineering and materials science, in a common research network with the aim of researching integrative production theories. The organisational cluster structure thus represents with the Cross Sectional Processes an approach to the integrative networking of the cluster participants. The aim of Cross Sectional Processes is the academic interlinking of the integrative cluster domains and their research processes. For this reason, suitable individual measures for networking all cluster participants are being developed and implemented and unified solutions are being worked on for the management of an integrative cluster of excellence.
