Öffentlichkeitsarbeit

Spezifische Maßnahmen

Das Ziel, den wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt an die Öffentlichkeit zu kommunizieren, steht im Mittelpunkt der Projektarbeit. In den letzten Jahren sind Maßnahmen identifiziert worden, mit denen die Zielgruppen über verschiedene Projekte informiert werden können. Die Zielgruppen sind im Einzelnen potentielle industrielle Anwender, Schüler und Studenten sowie die breite Öffentlichkeit. Die Arbeit dieses Projektes soll in der dritten Forderungsperiode mit den und durch neue Impulse verbessert werden. Dabei werden mediensoziologische Erkenntnisse in die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit integriert und Genderaspekte berücksichtigt.

Public relations

Specific measures

The goal of communicating scientific progress to the public is in the focus the project work. In the last few years, measures have been identified with which the target groups can be informed about various projects were addressed. The target groups are in detail potential industrial users, school children and students as well as the broad public. The work of this project is to be carried out in the third period of demands with the and improved by new impulses. At the same time, media-sociological findings are integrated into public relations work and gender aspects are taken into account.

MGK

Specific Measures

The research of the CRC 1316 is based on doctoral researchers that are educated to reach a solid expertise in the very interdisciplinary field of transient atmospheric non-equilibrium plasmas and their interfaces to solids and liquids. The support of early career researchers (ECR) is targeted at the individual academic levels ranging from master students, doctoral researchers, to independent PostDocs. The ultimate goal is to generate/qualify independent responsible researchers that are embedded in an international network. This goal is realized by the establishment of an integrated research training group (MGK) consisting of lectures, training workshop, and hands-on exercises for the ECRs. 

The MGK will be the central platform to build up the interdisciplinary expertise among the doctoral researchers at the interfaces between plasma physics–surface science–(surface) chemistry–biology. Doctoral researchers with a background in plasma physics are asked to attend a targeted training in solid-state physics, biology, and chemistry, and vice versa. Accordingly, doctoral researchers from other research fields join the corresponding lectures. All courses will also be open to local students as well as taught in English in order to include international students. Furthermore, these courses will serve as a local advertisement for the CRC 1316 and as a networking platform for master students and new doctoral researchers. First contact between the CRC 1316 and promising PhD candidates is made, who can be motivated to apply for a position within the CRC. These courses are also highly attractive for incoming students who are offered the whole range of welcome and orientation services by the international office of the Ruhr-Universit ¨ at Bochum prior to and upon arrival – in particular accommodation, legal advice, intercultural awareness, and access to language courses.

The lectures are given by the PI or invited experts. It is also combined with some hands on exercises, which are either demonstration experiments on diagnostics, or lecture hall programming courses on available simulation tools.

The MGK builds on the expertise from coordinating the European graduate school MC-ITN RAPID on reactive atmospheric pressure plasma science (2013-2017) as well as on the integrated training school of the SFB-TR 87 (2010- ). The training program of the CRC 1316 is complementary to that of the SFB-TR 87 dealing with low pressure plasmas, because the focus in the CRC 1316 is on atmospheric pressure plasmas and on (plasma) chemistry. The basic courses on the fundamentals on plasma diagnostics, the fundamentals of modelling, or fundamental knowledge in chemistry will be joint events of all research consortia at RUB.

By continuous and long-standing development at RUB in supporting early career researchers formats like international workshops, monitoring of the ECR progress by career development plans (CDP), and annual progress reports (APR), as well as mentoring for the ECRs by PIs in academia and industry are well established procedures at RUB.
