Offer for professors and coordinators

Third-party funding bodies such as the DFG and BMBF now explicitly expect doctoral candidates to have access to well-founded transdisciplinary qualification opportunities in addition to their subject-specific specialisation when designing and implementing coordinated junior researcher programmes. The aim is to nurture scientific talent and develop it into individuals who can compete at the highest international level. Transferable skills — from project and time management to leadership and communication — are therefore a central component of modern graduate training.

The Graduate Academy provides comprehensive support, from formulating transdisciplinary components and equality measures in applications (e.g. for Research Training Groups), to concrete planning, organisation, and implementation of corresponding formats.
