Nachwuchsförderung in der Wissenschaft: Best-Practice-Modelle zum Promotionsgeschehen - Strategien, Konzepte, Strukturen
Beate Scholz (auth.), Isolde von Bülow (eds.)Promotion of young academics, quality assurance for the doctoral process, and the organisation of the transition from guided study to independent academic work have become increasingly important in recent years – this is reflected in the increasing number of doctoral programs at universities and other research institutions, newly established service facilities and programs offering training in key skills for doctoral students, and revised quality standards for their supervision. – But which developments have proved successful? This book presents best practice models and shows where there is currently need for action. It is based on the talks given at a symposium held by the Graduate Center of LMU Munich and presents concepts related to the promotion of young academics and the doctoral process: organisational forms, concepts and strategies of central graduate facilities, the spheres of activity of recruitment and registration, organisation of the transitional phases between predoc and doc and doc and postdoc, aspects of quality assurance, and much more. The solution models presented have proved successful in practice and – on account of their innovative character – are pioneering for future developments in the field of the promotion of young academics. A book for representatives of academic and service institutions in universities, research institutions, foundations, and ministries, and for academic managers and program coordinators.
