Further training programmes for junior professors

Prospective academics face particular challenges when taking on a junior professorship due to the wide range of responsibilities involved. As part of the WISNA programme, the PROWIS programme - the university-wide support programme for postdoctoral researchers - is to be supplemented by targeted advice and further training opportunities for junior professors that are geared towards the required skills profile of future professors.
The following key topics are planned:

• Research skills
• University didactics
• International and intercultural competences
• General key competences

Particular attention is paid to promoting group formation among UdS junior professors, as experience has shown that exchanging ideas and learning from each other (in the peer group) creates great added value for those involved.
