Lead your own research project and team<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In order to learn and develop management and leadership skills in practice, you will lead a research project. Ideally, the content is closely related to the topic of your promotion in computer science in order to make maximum use of synergy effects. The aim is to gain new scientific insights. Practically that means: you manage the whole process of the project independently with the support of the research and industry partners<\/a>. It all begins with planning the project, which also includes an application for financial resources and, of course, the coordination of your team up to the completion of the project.<\/p>\n

Each project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space<\/a> (BMFTR) with up to 115,000 euros over a maximum ongoing project period of two years. The amount of funding will be decided on an individual case. The funds are earmarked; therefore, they must be used for the realization of the project. For the implementation of the IT projects, apply the restrictions of each notice of grants from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, a Project Management Agency (Projektr\u00e4ger) implements the funding program on behalf of the ministry.<\/p>\n
