Hamburg Research Academy - Symposium: Social background and equal opportunities

15.04.2021, 3pm-6pm

Online

The symposium explicitly addresses the impact of the pandemic. It will not only look at the next generation of academics, but also at the situation of students as well as pupils who now have even more obstacles to overcome on their potential path to academia. What can universities do to provide the best possible support for future “corona generations” and to successfully accompany students from non-academic families all the way to professorship? These and other questions will be discussed and answered by experts from various fields at the symposium.

The language of the symposium will be German.

Stifterverband/BMBF - KI-Campus- Ideas Competition for the Development of Open and Innovative Learning

09.04.2021

Together with the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the Stifterverband is launching the second AI Campus Ideas Competition to develop open and innovative learning opportunities.

The AI Campus went online in summer 2020 with a beta version of its digital learning platform for artificial intelligence. As part of the German government's AI strategy and data strategy, it is already developing open and innovative learning opportunities on AI and data skills (https://ki-campus.org/overview) with over 30 partners on a pilot basis until 2022.

The second AI Campus Ideas Competition focuses on the targeted further curricular design of the AI Campus learning platform. Learning opportunities on basic concepts and methods of AI as well as data science and data literacy are to expand a sound basis for dealing with AI. Building on this, application-oriented and area-specific learning opportunities on AI and data competences in the fields of medicine, school and Industry 4.0 should deal in depth with content and practice-oriented competence requirements.

The project outline should consist of a maximum of 8 pages.

The AI Campus team will offer a webinar on the application process on 22 March 2021 (5-6 p.m.).

Federal Institute for Sport Science - Research project “Individualisation as a performance reserve”

28.04.2021

This WVL project aims to contribute to the clarification of the performance-promoting and performance-limiting influencing and conditioning factors of individual performance development of athletes in the follow-up and high-performance area. In doing so, a holistic transdisciplinary approach is pursued through a problem-oriented networking of different (sports science) disciplines and levels of observation, e.g. molecular, training physiology, psychological, socio-psychological, biomechanical, socio-structural, etc., as well as including the expertise of trainer-advisor teams.

On the one hand, this is intended to better explain the complex mechanisms of training adaptations via the interaction of influencing and conditioning factors on individual performance developments and individual trainability, in order to be able to individually control performance processes at a very high level of competitive sport. In doing so, the core questions of training are to be illuminated: What works how, when, for whom - and why?

A project duration of four years (48 months) is planned. The project is expected to be awarded in the 3rd quarter of 2021 (target start date: 01.10.2021). A maximum funding amount of 500,000 EUR per year (incl. all applicable taxes) is planned. The call for proposals provides for a single-stage selection procedure.

Einstein Forum and the Daimler and Benz Foundation - Albert-Einstein Scholarship

15.05.2021

The Einstein Forum and the Daimler and Benz Foundation are offering a fellowship for young thinkers who wish to pursue a project in a different field from that of their previous research.

The fellowship includes living accommodations for five to six months in the garden cottage of Einstein`s summerhouse in Caputh, Brandenburg. The fellow will receive a stipend of EUR 10,000 and reimbursement of travel expenses.

Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the current Einstein Fellow has not be able to take up residence in Caputh yet. Therefore, the following fellowship will be awarded for 2022 rather than 2021. All applications that have already been submitted will be considered in the next selection round.

Candidates must be under 35 and hold a university degree in the humanities, in the social sciences, or in the natural sciences. It is not relevant whether the applicant has begun working toward, or currently holds, a PhD. The proposed project need not be entirely completed during the time of the fellowship, but can be the beginning of a longer project.

Please note that no fellowships will be awarded for dissertation research. The proposed project must be significantly different in content, and preferably field and form, from the applicant’s previous work.
