The German Science System
Oct 04, 2021 – Oct 29, 2021
Research in Germany has an excellent reputation - and rightly so. Behind the innovation power leading to patents, new processes and products, is a complex system of universities, research institutes and societies, federal ministries and agencies funding research and supporting young scientists.
Chances are you are part of the complex German research landscape without having been provided with a proper map. Let’s change that! Our new online course takes a deep dive into the German science system.
The online course consists of four sections. Starting October 4th, one section will be made available per week. Course participants can watch the pre-recorded videos and look at the accompanying materials of each section at their own pace. We estimate a time requirement of 1.5 – 2 .5 hours per week.
