Modules Research

As a researcher, driving your research forward as effectively as possible is your key priority. How can you finance your research? Is your idea specific enough to quality for third-party funding? Has an idea for research been on your mind for a while, but you haven’t found the time to take it any further? Then this is the course for you! Our outstanding coaches for modules R1 and R2 help you take up the reins of your research idea and steer effectively towards your goal.

With the right creative methods (module R1) you learn the expertise you need to make your idea competitive and make it accessible to the world of research in the right context (module R2). You also have the unique opportunity to share experiences directly with successful FAU professors. They give you constructive feedback tailored specifically to your ideas. You can also clarify any questions directly with our research coordinators.

You can choose between the two self-contained modules R1: Developing competitive third-party projects and R2 Developing successful networks.

Please register for the modules by mail.

Regarding the details of the module procedure and documents to be submitted in advance, you will be contacted and personally informed by all trainers in good time before the module.

  • What is creativity and how can I use it to benefit my research and my career?
  • Finding inspiration and shaping new ideas
  • Visualising, exploring and communicating your own idea using prototyping, project canvases and storytelling.
  • Your idea, tailored to suit specific funding scenarios and from the reviewer’s perspective
