Promotion of Young Researchers

PROMOTING YOUNG RESEARCHERS AT THE FACULTY OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

One of the Faculty of Business Administration's special concerns is the need-based promotion of young academics. The aim is not only close and direct supervision by professors, but also intensive and early contact with the international research community.

These goals are ensured by numerous opportunities for doctoral students. Based on the American model, for example, so-called brown bag sessions are held with research assistants and professors of the faculty and, if necessary, external (guest) scientists. These short impulse lectures promote interdisciplinary discourse and provide an exciting insight into other areas of research. In addition, the inter-faculty colloquium "WiMi" with presentations of individual dissertations and research projects serves as a platform for internal exchange.

The declared aim of the promotion of young researchers is to enable doctoral studies in the University of Applied Sciences area. Research assistants are to be encouraged to take up doctoral studies and are to be accompanied and supported along the way. In the past, academic staff of the Faculty of Business Administration have successfully completed cooperative doctorates - and several academic staff of the Faculty are currently pursuing doctorates. The BayWISS joint colleges "Communication & Media" and "Economics" are especially important in this context. They offer young researchers with strong research skills the opportunity to complete a cooperative doctorate within the Bavarian university landscape.

The voices of young researchers

"In addition to the inter-faculty meetings of the doctoral students, I find the brown bag sessions offered at the faculty to be particularly exciting, as they allow me to exchange professional ideas across institutes, receive valuable feedback from professors and colleagues on my own research project, and gain insights into the research of others. At the same time, the presentation is a perfect preparation for conference presentations."

- Katrin Brunner, Research Assistant

"In addition to the existing possibility of a cooperative doctorate with other faculties of the University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich, BayWISS offers another excellent opportunity for doctoral studies. The network of Bavarian universities and universities of applied sciences is a strong platform for scientific exchange and further qualification."

- Maximilian Eder, Research Assistant

Supporting young scientists

According to the motto “promote young talent – provide impetus – improve quality”, the central tasks regarding the promotion of young researchers are to help doctoral and postdoctoral candidates of the University of the Bundeswehr Munich in their qualification phase to find funding opportunities and to support them in the application process.
