Ecoversity "Attracting Talent" - Visiting Fellowships

Call for proposals

PURPOSE OF THE CALL

Goal of the initiative Ecoversity is to transform TU Braunschweig into a networked 'Ecosystem University' with a national and international reach. Through our collaborative approach, we are combining the strengths of our regional, national and international partner institutions.

The purpose of the call Ecoversity ”Attracting Talent” is to foster international collaboration and facilitate innovative collaborative research. We invite international professors and postdocs to spend a research stay at a host institute at TU Braunschweig with at least one of the following goals:

• Join the preparation for a collaborative research project (e.g. DFG Collaborative Research Centre / Transregio (CRC), DFG (International) Research Training Group (I)RTG) and prepare future participation in the project, for example, as a Mercator Fellow”
• Prepair participation in a running collaborative research project via the DFG Funding Initiative “Global Minds in DFG Consortia”
• Prepair a long-term commitment to research at TU Braunschweig through the preparation of a proposal for a Humboldt Research Professorship or an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation
• Preparation of European Research Council (ERC) Proposals

The thematic focus of the planned research stay is expected to be in one or several of the following research fields:

• Quantum Technologies
• Aviation
• Digital Construction

• Microtechnology
• Space
• Marine, climate and sustainability research
• Technologies for climate-neutral mobility
• Biotechnology and health research
• Artificial intelligence
• Humanities and social sciences

In addition, all fellows are expected to contribute towards the 'Ecosystem University' (e.g. via workshops, network activities with our partners in the region, teaching activities) and agree to participate in at least one media contribution (e.g. in TU Braunschweig news).
