Career development through research funding

Event content

Only for participants of the Dorothea Schlözer Program.

Researchers are increasingly faced with expectations to raise 3rd party funds if they want to pursue a successful research career. Yet, applying for 3rd party funds is not an end in itself and could even be detrimental to research careers, if disconnected from own scientific or life plans or scientific goals. This workshop, thus, aims to clarify which kinds of funding opportunities are suitable for the participants’ respective purposes. In addition, it offers insights into the objectives and practices of research funding institutions and peer review procedures. Individual short coaching sessions during the second day will help the participants to pave their way towards successful applications in view of their needs and ambitions.

Elements:

- Status quo analysis & career prospects
- The research system in Germany & Europe
- Individualised typology of research funding & career development opportunities
- Basics of grant applications & peer review perspectives
- Short coaching sessions

The individual coaching sessions will last 40 minutes and take place on 21 October (between 14 and 17) OR 22 October (between 9:30 and 17). The coaching schedule will be communicated to the participants a few weeks before the workshop. We will need your CV and a signed data consent sheet (will be provided).
