Interdisciplinary research team is an important organizational form to solve intricate scientific inquiries and cope with social challenges,and its innovation capability plays a driving role in developing basic scientific research and the initiation of o-riginal outcomes in China.The Institute of Advanced Materials Team(IAM),established in 1996 and based at Northwestern Polytechnical University,Nanjing Tech University and Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications,is a comprehensive and interdisciplinary frontiers research team within the domain of organic electronics and flexible electronics.Based on the cogni-tive schema theory,this paper drew on the exploratory single case study of IAM team,and found that:(1)the interdisciplinary research team integrates multi-disciplinary knowledge through creative learning mechanism to build a heterogeneous and ordered knowledge schema("seeking heterogeneity"),reflecting the mechanism of reorganizing the knowledge structure and generating creative ideas of research team members;(2)through the adaptive learning mechanism,the interdisciplinary research team in-tegrates the various values of members to construct a homogenous and harmonious belief schema("seeking homogeneity"),which reflects the mechanism of mutual adaptation and the formation of a highly cohesive collective among research team mem-bers;and(3)the"seeking heterogeneity"of knowledge schema and"seeking homogeneity"of belief schema interacts with each other to build the innovation capability of the scientific research team.This paper proposed a mechanism model of"seeking hom-ogeneity"and"seeking heterogeneity"in the formation of team innovation capability from the perspective of cognitive schema,which will enrich the theoretical research on the formation of team innovation capability,and provide practical insights into the basic research and technological breakthroughs of interdisciplinary scientific research team.
