Target Group
Each year we envisage enrollment of about 20 participants in the program. We are looking for participants who are employed in research and/or transfer positions with at least two years of professional experience. It is helpful if applicants are responsible for strategic tasks, process organization, planning and designing systems in your institution. Applicants should be open to collaborate with international partners and initiatives. Applicants are expected to participate in both on‐site weeks and several online activities and should possess good proficiency in English.
Costs
In the current pilot phase the program is funded by the state of Lower Saxony. Therefore, we do not charge participation fees. Additionally, we will provide lunch during the two on‐site weeks. All other costs such as travel, accommodation, breakfast, dinner, and similar expenses are to be covered by the participants themselves.
