During the 20-month scholarship, the development and implementation of a student research project is the focus of activities. The topics are proposed independently by the scholarship holders and are interdisciplinary. During the research, the team members contribute their skills and continuously expand them.
The groups are encouraged to develop solutions independently. They are accompanied by supervisors (active or retired professors) and tutors, both professionally and personally. In the initial phase of the project work, a hypothesis underlying the chosen topic must be developed and tested with scientific methods. The team then derives ideas for implementation from the research results, which have high practical relevance. Throughout the entire time, the group members contribute their expertise and deepen it at workshops and seminars.
In doing so, they acquire further interdisciplinary competencies and strengthen their soft skills.

[FREESEARCH] New goal announcement

As part of the call “Multimodal Science Communication”, our team has chosen to explore the roadblocks in realizing meaningful research. At first we had focused on the interactions between science and the economy and primarily on how research is funded. After exploring diverse ideas such as crowdfunding platforms for universities, the modified lottery method of distributing grants and the influence of political decision-makers on research, we ultimately decided to reflect upon the problems we as students face in contributing to science. In our discussions with professors and highly engaged students we noticed a great potential to bring these people together to create valuable research.
