Goal:

Learn more about your colleagues´ research and collaboration needs in a casual atmosphere without preparation, make contacts, ask questions, inform about your own scientific expertise. We are convinced that there is expertise at the TU Darmstadt that you do not know yet and that can help you in your research, especially since about 20 new professors are appointed to the TU Darmstadt every year.

We connect you with each other without you having to invest extra time!

You are also welcome to introduce yourself and nominate additional interviewees. We have a snowball system with assistance and you can simply use our questionnaire to start the conversation.

Who:

There are two colleagues initially talking with each other. The first person is invited and nominates the second person, who is asked a few introductory questions and acts as interviewer at the next date. It is a condition that the interview partners are from different disciplines. We would be pleased if you would also actively participate and introduce yourself. Other listeners can join in via the link, participate and/or join the conversation.

All dates with all interview partners can be found in the table below.

How:

Ideally, the first 5 minutes are used to interview a person in order to get to know his/her research, collaboration possibilities and needs. Another 10 minutes are to briefly exchange/make contacts with the audience. This can be done verbally or via the chat function.

Language:

Whether the interview will be held in English or German is up to you and your interview partner.

Research

“ Since when have you been at TU?

” What is your research topic?

“ Why did you choose this topic?

” What drives you in your research?

“ What motivates you in your research?

” Can you describe your research focus (in 5 sentences)?

Expertise/Infrastructure

“ What expertise and infrastructure do you have that might be of interest/relevance to others?

” Are there expertise/technologies that could help you in your research that you do not have yourself?

“ What other research field at TU Darmstadt would you like to get to know and why?

Tipping Points

” Do you remember a breakthrough you experienced in your research?

“ Are you stuck with a certain research problem and would like to exchange ideas with other disciplines?

” Do you recall a moment that was groundbreaking or problematic?

Closing question

" If you had one wish, what would you like to see in your research?
