The research incentive programme of the Faculty of Architecture and Landscape Sciences supports young researchers to develop their own research approaches and concepts. In particular, the aim is to strengthen design&research approaches and cooperative and interdisciplinary research. The support is intended to serve both to intensify doctoral training in the preparation and execution of dissertations and to promote alternative qualification paths in the connection between art and science in order to sharpen the research profile of the Faculty in terms of content and methodology. The preparation of applications for further research funding, the formation of academic networks and the increased visibility of the Faculty in the national and international research environment are further core objectives of the programme.
