Idea and Foundation
The original idea of idw was to provide experts for journalists. Using the American ProfNet as example, the press officers of Universitaet Bayreuth, the Ruhr University Bochum and the Clausthal University of Technology, in collaboration with Computing Centre of Clausthal University of Technology/TU Clausthal, developed a concept for a German language network, by means of the new media. The concept was technically implemented by the staff of the Computing Centre of the Clausthal University of Technology. They still program and maintain the idw operating system and are still developing it. The other two idw sites are at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and Bayreuth University and here idw employees are responsible for user services and further development of the content.
