The GrACe consists of an interdisciplinary team and builds on internal and external networking. We are happy to advise and support you!

 

You will find everything under one roof: comprehensive career and staff development for researchers and science managers, target group-specific centres for all career levels in science, the staff development programme for researchers and teaching staff (PEP), the mentoring programme movementand the Bielefeld Young Talent Fund (BNF). In addition, we promote the further development of leadership culture and cooperation in science, accompanied by ongoing organisational development.
