Nachwuchsakademie – Herzchirurgie II Vom Einzelantrag zur Vernetzung

去年，我们举办了第一届DFG Nachwuchsakademie Herzchirurgie （NWA）。资助是基于对包括心脏外科领域在内的研究要求已经改变的认识。在过去的15-20年里，与其他学科相比，心脏外科的这些要求很少得到满足。反响非常热烈（34名申请者，21名与会者，20人提交了dfg个人研究资助提案，9人获得批准）。第一次NWA表明，德国心脏外科受训者的基础科学专业知识仍有发展潜力。此外，调查还表明，年轻人具备智力能力和学习必要基础知识的兴趣，但仍需要更多的支持。NWA的另一个效果是与北美最大的外科科学网络（CTSN）正在形成合作关系，这可能并将导致创建重要的国际网络。网络在学术领域变得越来越重要。目前，基础科学和临床科学的顶级出版物越来越多地基于（国际）联系项目。我们表明，心脏手术的合作水平目前落后。因此，我们申请了2。Nachwuchsakademie Herzchirurgie，旨在向德国心脏外科受训者传播基本科学知识，并扩大科学网络（国家、国际、临床和基础科学）的范围。

Last year we hosted the first DFG Nachwuchsakademie Herzchirurgie (NWA). Funding was based on the perception that requirements on research have changed, which includes the field of cardiac surgery. These requirements were less met in cardiac surgery compared to other disciplines during the last 15-20 years. The response was enormous (34 applicants, 21 attendees, 20 submitted DFG-Individual Research Grant proposals, 9 approved grants). The first NWA showed that basic scientific expertise of trainees in German heart surgery has still developmental potential. In addition, it showed that the intellectual competencies and the interest to learn the necessary basics are there and that there is still a need of more support for the young. Another effect of the NWA is the ongoing formation of a cooperation with the largest surgical scientific network of North America (CTSN) which may and shall lead to the creation of important international networks. Networking becomes more and more important in the academic field. Present top publications of basic and clinical science are increasingly based on (international) connected projects. We showed that the level of cooperation in heart surgery currently lags behind. Therefore, we apply for the 2. Nachwuchsakademie Herzchirurgie with the aim to spread basic scientific knowledge amongst trainees of German heart surgery and to increase the extent of scientific networking (national, international, clinical and basic science).
