Workshop 5

Workshop 5: Using Research Funding Strategically for Your Career

This workshop will address the following questions:

  • Which funding opportunities are right for me?

  • When (i.e., at what stage of my career) are my chances of success particularly good, especially as a female researcher?

The aim of this workshop

is to show you ways in which you can continue your academic career at WU after your contract—which is usually temporary—has expired, and which funding opportunities are likely to be best suited to financing your projects and your career.

Dr. Beate Scholz will provide you with both general and individual information (based on your career to date, your field of study, etc.) about which research funding you can strategically use for your career.

Dr. Beate Scholz is founder and director of Scholz CTC GmbH. As strategy consultant, trainer, coach, reviewer, and researcher, she focuses on researchers’ career development with special attention to doctoral education and equal opportunities. She works internationally with individual researchers and research policy makers as well as with universities, research funders and research performing institutions.
