Objectives

The research center aims to improve the conditions for good research performance, especially in the field of fundamental research. It is intended to promote the development of interdisciplinary third-party funding proposals by its members and, in particular, to strive for acquisition of DFG Research Units and DFG Research Training Groups or other coordinated proposals from other funding institutions.

The research center wants to strengthen the KU’s attractiveness for research in the natural sciences and offers researchers and scientists excellent development prospects.

In the area of the promotion of early-career researchers, it plans to develop offers for doctoral candidates primarily in the methodological field. A joint science-oriented graduate training program will be established, which will take into account the special requirements with regard to methodological approaches.
