Modul "How to develop a Research Proposal"

Instructor: Prof. Dr. Rainer Herpers

Description:

This module targets scientist and in particular PhD students, who are in the preparation stage of a research topic. A research proposal is the result of a planning and preparation phase during the composition of a research proposal and it describes the content of the planned scientific working. It is therefore considered as the basis to communicate about the scientific project. However, it might also be used for the application of a research grant or a PhD scholarship to evaluate, if the project is well planned, background material has been sufficiently researched, and finally if the realization sounds feasible.

The seminar will elaborate on:

• the content of a research proposal
• structure of a research proposal
• state of the art
• material and methods
• the expected results
• the project and time plan.
