During the 20-month scholarship, the development and implementation of a student research project is the focus of activities. The topics are proposed independently by the scholarship holders and are interdisciplinary. During the research, the team members contribute their skills and continuously expand them.
The groups are encouraged to develop solutions independently. They are accompanied by supervisors (active or retired professors) and tutors, both professionally and personally. In the initial phase of the project work, a hypothesis underlying the chosen topic must be developed and tested with scientific methods. The team then derives ideas for implementation from the research results, which have high practical relevance. Throughout the entire time, the group members contribute their expertise and deepen it at workshops and seminars.
In doing so, they acquire further interdisciplinary competencies and strengthen their soft skills.

With Katharina, we welcome a TUMJA alumna back on board: Katharina was a scholarship holder in class 2017/1. With her team PiA - Politik im Alltag, she wanted to convey political knowledge at schools in an interesting and attractive way and arouse student's interest in political topics. This background could be very helpful for her new role as a supervisor. Team ERIK*A aims to address the discrepancy between sex education and its curriculum in Bavarian schools. Their goal is a holistic sex education at schools, that includes biological, historical, social, and artistic aspects. Read more about team ERIK*A
