Coordination Funds

1688年优先规划的明确目标是，从网络结构的可能性中获益，同时尽量减少其潜在的负面影响。这将使我们取得比仅仅积累个别研究要好得多的结果。该协调项目旨在提供一个基础设施，使来自不同地理位置的附属学者能够将他们密集的个人研究与该领域领先专家的富有成效的合作结合起来。除了以互联网为基础的合作外，本优先计划还将在不同的组织层面举行一些会议（年会、研讨会），使项目内部和外部学者之间不断交流思想。为了促进这种交流，我们必须采取措施，将我们的利益呈现出来，并使之形象化；需要建立平台和沟通渠道，以允许和协助远距离持续合作。这些目标不仅需要为活动、出版物和网站的维护提供大量资金，而且需要有效地部署人员。两名资深研究人员在进行自己的项目时，将在全面协调优先方案方面担任关键职位，并就内容和组织事项提供指导和咨询意见；一名秘书和两名助理将承担进一步的行政工作。就项目的公众形象和内部晋升和支持而言，协调项目的努力还辅之以公共关系倡议、向优秀博士候选人提供后续项目的启动资金以及促进机会平等的措施。

lt is the clear objective of Priority Programme 1688 to benefit from the possibilities of a network structure and, at the same time, to minimise the potentially negative effects thereof. This will enable us to achieve considerably better results than a mere accumulation of individual studies could. The coordination project seeks to provide an infrastructure that will enable the affiliated scholars, who work together from different geographical locations, to combine their intensive individual research with a productive cooperation with leading experts in the field. Apart from internet-based collaboration, a number of meetings (annual conferences, workshops) will therefore be held on the different organisational Ievels within this Priority Programme to enable a continuous exchange of ideas between project-internal and -external scholars. ln order to facilitate this kind of exchange, measures to present and visualise our interests have to be taken; platforms as well as communication channels need to be created that allow and assist continuous collaborations across long distances. These objectives not only require substantial funding for events, publications and the website's maintenance but also for an efficient deployment of personnel. While pursuing their own projects, two senior researchers will hold the key positions in the overall coordination of the Priority Programme and will provide guidance and advice on content-related and organisational matters; a secretary and two assistants will undertake further administrative tasks. As far as the public image of the project and an internal advancement and support are concerned, the endeavours of the coordination project are complemented by initiatives for public relations, start-up funding for follow-up projects granted to outstanding doctoral candidates and measures to promote equal opportunities.
