Abstract: Abstract The promotion of innovative capability is a decisive factor in the strategic orientation of global economies. The role of interdisciplinary, scientific networks in this context is of growing importance. The successful organization of these networks demands an approach to knowledge management that meets the conditions of their dynamic and complex environment. Accordingly, the Cross Sectional Processes project, which is part of the Cluster of Excellence “Integrative Production Technology for High-Wage Countries” at the RWTH Aachen University, is presented here as a case study of the research that is currently being carried out in this area. The relatively new task of managing interdisciplinary research networks makes a contribution that helps Germany along the path to the Enabling Innovation rating. On the basis of the Cross Sectional Processes case study, this article aims to describe a method of increasing innovative capability, which is rooted in interdisciplinary research networks.
