Promotion of research at university and department
The university and the department promote research in various ways. The university's Center for Research and Cooperation provides its own guidance in this regard.
The research officer and the research assistance of the department offer on request to advise the scientific staff of the department with regard to funding, application, technical support and others.
A strategy group for research accompanies the realization of the research concept and in particular the further development of supporting structures at the department. It may later be transferred to a formal research committee of the department.
Ethical issues in research are the responsibility of the faculty and the Research Ethics Committee of the department.
The department has implemented a college-agreed-upon regularity for research sabbaticals in accordance with the state's university teaching regulations. Research semesters are regularly applied for, carried out and interesting research results are achieved. For the implementation or management of externally funded research projects, a leave of absence of two to four semester hours for full-time lecturers can be granted upon request.
In addition, regular events for the exchange of information on research projects, results and methods take place at the department: the Teaching Research Day, the Research Day and the Methods Workshop. More information can be found here.
In the area of support for young researchers, the department aims to facilitate access to study and doctoral scholarships. For those interested in doctoral studies in social work, nursing pedagogy, nursing and midwifery, more information is provided here.
