Developing a research and funding strategy
As competition continues to increase both in Germany as well as internationally, researchers and the institutions they work at are pressed to submit more and more applications for thirdparty funding. However, not all funding programmes may be suitable to realise the goals of an individual researcher or the plans of a working group or institute. Selection panels and appointments committees also increasingly expect participants to present strategic concepts on how they plan to develop their research including their applications for third-party funding.
The aim of this workshop is thus to enable the participants to act strategically with regards to their middle- or long-term career goals and scientific ambitions resp. the goals their institution is pursuing.
