KIT-Nachwuchsgruppe

In view of the numerous and diverse funding instruments for the establishment of junior research groups, KIT has defined uniform quality criteria for official recognition as a "KIT-Nachwuchsgruppe".

As a junior research group leader at KIT, apply for recognition as "KIT-Nachwuchsgruppe" (KIT Junior Research Group) to make your group more visible inside and outside of KIT. The recognition certifies the high quality of your group and paves the way to further opportunities and perspectives at KIT.

Thus, the certificate is required if you wish to participate in the doctoral procedures of members of your junior research group. For this purpose, heads of a KIT-Nachwuchsgruppe can apply for the status KIT Associate Fellow. In addition, they may apply for membership in the Young Investigator Network (YIN).
