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 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.
Research Services invite students and doctoral candidates from Yale University (New Haven, USA) to an information session where they can discuss current funding opportunities in the German academic system and individual career paths, among other things.
The annual career fair of the MIT European Club offers an overview of European universities and companies as potential employers for MIT graduates. Research Services are represented with a stand for the TU.
The Boston University Center for Career Development invites employers to information sessions on campus. Research Services bring current job vacancies and advise on national and European funding opportunities.
This career fair by Washington University in St. Louis (USA) is aimed specifically at students and graduates from the Asian region who would like to find out about further (academic) careers. Research Services present current job vacancies and other funding opportunities.
