What participants say...

TALENTA start

»Thanks to TALENTA, I was able to start my PhD directly after completing my Master thesis at Fraunhofer IAP in the same department. Without this funding, the doctoral position would not have existed.
I used the funding both for further training to deepen my technical knowledge and for attending a conference in England. As a young scientist, the conference expanded my network to other scientists and industry.«

Christina Gabriel (Scientific Assistant at Fraunhofer IAP)

 

TALENTA speed up

»Above all, the TALENTA funding enabled me to create free time frames. I was able to use the additional time that I had available to build groups and to further my personal qualifications. So, I was able to choose which training courses I wanted to attend.«

Dr. Ines Veile (Group Leader and Deputy Head of Department at Fraunhofer IZFP)

TALENTA excellence

»I used the TALENTA funding primarily for the further development of my team or for my department. My goal was to be better equipped on a management level. In addition to leadership training, I also attended personal coaching appointments where I explicitly addressed my situation and that of my colleagues and team members.«

Dr. Iman Taha (Head of Department at Fraunhofer IGCV and Associate Professor at Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt)
