Link with the university's research priorities

  • Scientific Center for Information Technology Design (ITeG): The ITeG is an interdisciplinary research institution of the University of Kassel with a focus on the social responsibility of IT design. The ITeG promotes the interdisciplinary design of information and communication technology from a socio-technical perspective for socially desirable innovations. Four departments of FB07 are part of the directorate.
  • International Center for Higher Education Research (INCHER): The interdisciplinary research center INCHER investigates a broad spectrum of questions on the development of the higher education and science system, its governance and its social relationships. Numerous higher education research projects at INCHER deal with questions and aspects of skills acquisition, including the INCHER thematic focus "Science and career in changing labor markets and qualification requirements". In addition, experimental methods are used to investigate the effectiveness of training programs, including in the area of business start-ups and the STEM orientation of pupils. Three departments from FB07 are represented on the INCHER directorate.
  • Center for Empirical Teaching and Learning Research (ZELL): The Center focuses on educational research. It bundles activities in teaching and learning research and research into the professionalization of teachers. There is a close connection to the KENT research activities in the context of the acquisition of skills at school and at work, which is signaled by joint and independent research projects in the subject area. Two subject areas of FB07 are currently included in the ZELL.
  • Competence Center for University Didactics in Mathematics (khdm): The center is a cooperative project of the Universities of Hannover, Kassel and Paderborn. It deals with practical issues relating to the teaching and learning of mathematics at universities. Its ultimate aim is to research and further develop the teaching and learning of mathematics at universities. University didactic research is part of the KENT research focus. Two departments of FB07 are part of the khdm.
