The call for proposals as part of the Impulsfonds supports the goal of the “Strategic Development of Potential” initiative to promote cross-institutional collaboration in research projects and to sustainably anchor cooperation in the regional ecosystem with at least one regional non-university research institution in the long term. Researchers should be encouraged to share knowledge and skills and to adopt new perspectives when developing innovative ideas and working on research questions beyond the boundaries of TU Braunschweig.
Through the funding program, TU Braunschweig wants to offer its scientists the opportunity to enter into targeted collaborations in the ecosystem and create an incentive to jointly develop new research projects. In addition to the further development of joint research topics, the aim is also to sustainably strengthen TU Braunschweig as a science location and make it fit for the future. The funding should be the prelude to applying for further joint research funding and lead to joint publications.
