Supporting and assisting young researchers

During the habilitation procedure, young researchers are provided scientific and organisational support from university lecturers.

As a mentor, one of your duties is to ensure that the habilitation candidate is given enough leeway to carry out their research. As well as providing subject-related expertise and support, you must also be sure to pass on your skills and experience in teaching in an academic setting.

Another basic requirement for a successful habilitation procedure is that all formal requirements of the faculty in question are respected and complied with.
