Coordination Funds

funCOS协调项目将为研究单位的成功和有效工作提供支持。具体而言，funCOS CP将致力于（1）通过积极将教育与同事和年轻研究人员在其职业生涯各个层面的最新研究联系起来，促进和支持年轻研究人员，（2）与大学和其他协调研究计划的活动密切协调，支持性别平等，（3）加强有效的信息交流，帮助在各级参与研究小组之间建立和维持有效的沟通结构，（4）优化资源的有效利用，从而降低项目的总成本，（5）在国际一级吸引和收集外部专门知识，（6）支持成果的传播和公共关系，从而加强大学的研究形象，提高其作为该领域主要研究中心的知名度。为实现上述目标，将实施若干措施和方案。后者包括（a）将项目相关的研究课题融入硕士课程的教学中，（B）提供学生研究助理，使优秀学生在职业生涯的早期阶段就融入研究，（c）提供研究生课程，研讨会课程和国际研究访问，为跨学科教育和洞察研究现状提供坚实的基础，（d）为考虑从事科学事业的优秀青年研究人员提供特别支持，（e）为所有支持性别平等的方案提供充分机会，（f）通过组织博士生讲习班和定期讨论活动，促进博士生一级的合作和信息交流，（g）建立新的国际网络，通过组织国际讲习班、邀请世界领先专家和通过其网站提供最新公共信息，支持传播工作。此外，（h）在采购所需的特殊化学品方面，包括在商业上无法获得的特殊化学品方面，向各参与团体提供全面支助。上述几项主要活动将由（i）指定的协调员组织，他也是研究单位的中心联络人。因此，funCOS协调项目旨在创造一个激励创造性研究的研究环境，最大限度地发挥互补方法之间的协同作用，促进年轻和成熟研究人员的发展，从而加强和促进弗里德里希-亚历山大-埃尔朗根-纽伦堡大学作为新兴研究领域的领先能力中心。

The funCOS Coordination Project will provide support for successful and efficient work of the research unit. Specifically, funCOS CP will aim at (1) promoting and supporting young researchers by actively connecting education and state-of-the-art research for coworkers and young researchers at all levels of their career, (2) supporting gender equality in close coordination with the activities of the University and other coordinated research programs, (3) strengthening efficient information exchange by helping to establish and maintaining efficient communication structures between the participating research groups at all levels, (4) optimizing efficient use of resources, thus reducing the overall costs of the project, (5) attracting and collecting external expertise at the international level, and (6) supporting dissemination of results and public relations thus strengthening the research profile of the university and promoting its visibility as a leading research center in the field. Towards the above goals several measures and programs will be implemented. The latter include (a) integration of project-related research topics into teaching at the level of Master programs, (b) offering student research assistantships to integrate excellent students into research at an early stage of their career, (c) offering graduate courses, seminar programs, and international research visits to provide a solid basis of interdisciplinary education and insight into the current state of research, (d) providing special support for excellent young researchers that consider pursuing a career in science, (e) providing full access to all programs supporting gender equality, (f) fostering cooperation and information exchange at the level of the PhD students by organizing PhD student workshops and regular discussion events, (g) building up new international networks and supporting dissemination by organizing international workshops, inviting world leading experts, and providing up-to-date public information via its website. Furthermore, (h) full support is provided to the participating groups concerning the acquisition of the required specialty chemicals including those, which are not available commercially. Several of the above listed key activities will be organized by a (i) designated coordinator, who is also a central contact person in the research unit. Thus the funCOS Coordination Project aims at generating a research environment that inspires creative research, maximizes synergies between complementary approaches, and boosts the development of young and established researchers, thereby strengthening and promoting the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg as a leading competence center in an emerging research field.
