GRK 1582: Fluorine as Key Element: Discovering Innovative Synthetic Concepts to Generate Novel Molecules with Unique Properties

研究培训小组为参与的研究生提供了一个教育计划，其特点是将氟引入到不同的化学结构中，目的是发现将在催化，材料科学以及药物和生物化学中应用的新型化合物。其目的是填补德国各大学一直形成的知识空白，如果允许这种空白继续扩大，将导致氟化学领域无法接受的专业知识流失。目前，在柏林，有许多来自不同科学背景和专业知识的研究小组，都集中精力合成不寻常的氟化化合物，并研究它们的性质。这提供了一个难得的机会，最好通过以研究培训小组的形式汇集这些资源来利用，预计将产生进一步的协同作用，重振德国氟化学的教学和研究。研究培训小组的成员是自筹资金和以其他方式资助的研究生，他们将在市场概念的框架内接受国际公认和综合的研究培训。三个行业合作伙伴参与教育计划将使学生获得实践经验，这对于此类计划来说是前所未有的。除了教学和研究方案的氟化学重点外，还将提供资源用于获得软技能，以确保学生为进入就业市场做好准备。根据机会平等原则，提高妇女地位得到明确支持，两位女大学教授对该提案的贡献积极表明了这一点。

The Research Training Group offers the participating graduate students an educational programme that features the introduction of fluorine into diverse chemical structures with the aim of discovering novel compounds that will have applications in catalysis, materials science as well as in pharmaceutical and biological chemistry. The intention is to fill a knowledge gap that has been forming at German universities, which, if allowed to continue to grow, would lead to an unacceptable loss of expertise in the area of fluorine chemistry. There exists at this time in Berlin a situation in which a large number of research groups, from a wide variety of scientific backgrounds and expertise, have concentrated their efforts on the synthesis of unusual fluorinated compounds as well as the investigation of their properties. This presents a rare opportunity that is best taken advantage of by pooling these resources in the form of a Research Training Group, which is expected to produce further synergies that will reinvigorate both teaching and research in fluorine chemistry in Germany. The members of the Research Training Group are self-financed and otherwise financed graduate students who will receive, within the framework of the marketability concept, research training that is internationally recognised and integrated. The participation of three industry partners in the educational programme will enable students to obtain a level of practical experience that is unprecedented for a programme of this kind. Aside from the fluorine chemistry focus of the teaching and research programmes, resources will be made available for the acquisition of soft skills that will ensure the readiness of students to enter the job market. According to the principle of equal opportunity, the advancement of women is explicitly supported, and is actively demonstrated by the contributions of two female university professors to this proposal.
