Goals and tasks

The focus of the funding is on doctoral students in the humanities at the University of Kassel, who are accepted as members (fellows) of the Research Training Group upon application.

The fellows are continuously supported by subject-specific and interdisciplinary programs that include elements of doctoral studies and professional qualification measures to support further career planning.

Embedding the individual projects in the institutional framework of the doctoral college is intended to help intensify contacts between the members of the college. A key educational goal is to impart an academic habitus that explicitly includes the ability to communicate within the interdisciplinary network of the humanities.

The promotion and maintenance of supra-regional and international academic contacts is a further concern of the Research Training Group.
