Promotion of research in the Department of Social and Health Care
The University and the Department promote research in various ways. The university's Center for Research and Cooperation provides its own guidance and offers support and advice. The Department's Research Ethics Committee is responsible for ethical issues in research.
In order to enable collegial exchange on research topics and thus promote the research culture at the Department, the so-called "research lunch" (exchange in a small group over lunch) takes place regularly. Invitations are sent by email. Other formats, such as research days, take place as required.
The Department has implemented a set of regulations for research semesters in accordance with the state's university teaching regulations, which have been agreed within the college. Research semesters are regularly applied for, carried out and interesting research results are achieved. In addition, leaves of absence for full-time education staff can be granted for the implementation or management of externally funded research projects.
The Department offers advice and support in the area of promoting early career researchers via the doctoral advisors. There is also further information on the Department's doctoral page, which addresses the special situation of doctoral candidates from social work and healthcare.
