Introduction to the German academic system

The German academic system is complex and not always easy to understand, especially for academics from abroad. In need of explanation are particularly the federal structure, the typology of universities and research institutions and also the various options for funding research projects.

This seminar provides a compact overview of the German academic system and offers the opportunity to ask individual questions. It is primarily aimed at international postdocs, but is also open to all other interested persons.

Topics

Fundamentals of state funding of the science system
Responsibility of the federal and state governments for free research and teaching
Players in the German science system
Universities, universities of applied sciences and other research institutions
Research funding

Speaker

Dr. Helene Schruff, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V., Wissenschaftsmanagerin
