Promotion of research at the University and Departments
The University and the Department promote research in various ways. The university's Center for Research and Cooperation provides its own information on this.
The Department's Research Officer and Research Assistant offer to advise the Department's academic staff on funding, applications, technical support, etc. on request.
A strategy group for research accompanies the realization of the research concept and in particular the further development of supporting structures in the Department. It may later be transferred to a formal research committee of the Department.
The teaching staff and the Department's Research Ethics Committee are responsible for ethical issues in research.
The Department has implemented a set of regulations for research semesters in accordance with the state's university teaching regulations, which have been agreed within the College. Research semesters are regularly applied for, carried out and interesting research results are achieved. For the implementation or management of externally funded research projects, a leave of absence of two to four semester hours per week can be granted for full-time education staff upon request.
In addition, regular events are held at the Department to exchange information on research projects, results and methods: the Teaching Research Day, the Research Day and the Methods Workshop. You can find more information here.
In the area of promoting young academics, the Department aims to facilitate access to study and doctoral scholarships. Further information is available here for those interested in doing a doctorate in social work, nursing education, nursing and midwifery.
