GAIN24 Digital: The Tenure-Track Professorship in Germany

With the program to promote young scientists, the federal and state governments are making decisive changes to university personnel structures in Germany. With a total of 1,000 funded tenure-track professorships at 75 universities nationwide, the program permanently establishes an internationally known career path and has thus initiated a structural and cultural change at German universities. The workshops offer the opportunity to exchange ideas with funded tenure-track professors and university leaders in order to find out more about the internationally attractive career path of German tenure-track professorships. The focus is on the advantages of tenure-track professorships in Germany as well as questions about the application and appointment process, the status and progression of tenure-track professorships, and the compatibility of family and career.
