Our information and consulting activities cover all areas of national, international and European funding. It begins with information about funding opportunities and extends from application support to assistance with contractual issues and the search for cooperation and contact partners. In addition, we offer to take over the project management of your EU projects.
In order to attract international scientists, we offer assistance and advice on recruiting and support new international researchers in all administrative steps of their arrival in Braunschweig.
Furthermore, we support selected strategic projects in the area of promotion of early career scientists and their research.
We look forward to working with you.
The European Union initiated the process of reforming research assessment in 2021. The Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) - a global network of universities, research institutions and research funding organisations - has emerged from this process. Its aim is to initiate a cultural change along with development and establishment of new principles in research assessment.
TU Braunschweig defines itself as a cosmopolitan research university that wants to attract scientists and scholars from all nations. Actively approaching talented researchers with the aim of attracting them to spend a longer or shorter research period at TU Braunschweig is a central component of the university's overall strategy and is regarded as an important cross-sectional task.
The new program “Lower Saxony - Scotland Research and Innovation Scheme” intensifies the long-term academic cooperation between Lower Saxony and Scotland. It offers structured funding opportunities for cross-border research and innovation and is intended to promote joint interdisciplinary projects. The scheme is divided into two pathways to support both emerging and established collaborations. Both are open to researchers from all academic disciplines to ensure broad participation and promote interdisciplinary approaches.
Applications for new collaborations are due by April 09 and for existing collaborations by June 30.
The CoARA Working Group on Reforming Academic Career Assessment (WG ACA), of which TU Braunschweig is a member, has published its first outputs, now available on Zenodo: Lessons learned, Survey results, Case studies.
The WG has conducted an extensive survey of nearly 200 academic organizations across Europe and beyond, investigating their hopes and ambitions for reforming academic career assessment. In collaboration with eleven leading initiatives, they also gathered best practices and valuable insights on this critical topic. From the collected data, six key lessons have emerged to guide comprehensive reforms in academic career assessment, reflecting contributions from various institutions, including ours. The lessons learned clearly show that change is a foot. Some lessons are confirmations of common expectations; others highlight important challenges that have yet to be resolved. In either case, they underscore the importance of practical, adaptable tools tailored to the diverse needs of institutions. By connecting each lesson to specific case studies and actionable insights, they create a roadmap for improving evaluation systems.
At the beginning of this year, the project to introduce a research information system (FIS) at TU Braunschweig was launched on the basis of the Executive Board's decision of December 2022. The aim is to establish the FIS as a central information platform for all research activities at TU Braunschweig. In the FIS, research projects, publications, patents and other scientific achievements will be brought together and presented in a linked form with personal profiles of all researchers and organisational units at the TU Braunschweig.
The first information session was held on 1 November 2023 to present the project and provide an opportunity for discussion at an early stage. The slides (only in German) are available via the following link.
