New Challanges

I phoned the DFG on 27.08. They see major challanges:

  1. in showing why the IRTG needs two partner institutions on the German side. We have to make clear why we need the two institutions, how we guarantee the coorperation. etc.
  2. Postdocs should be requested to fill gaps or part projects for which expertise is needed in addition.
  3. On the SA side with one PI not at NWU. It might be better to have SAAO as external partner.
  4. Early carreer scientist need to have the full right to do PhDs at each institution.
  5. This causes a problem at CAU because you only can do this with a hablitation or on a W1. I requested to transform one Qulification position into a W1.
