The joint efforts of the alliance in the field of "Promoting Talent" are directed at attracting, retaining, and supporting excellent researchers at all career stages. To this end, the alliance partners are developing a joint integrated space for careers. The Graduate Studies Support Program, for instance, provides a comprehensive qualification program that is open to all doctoral candidates. By establishing a new Postdoc Academy, the alliance puts a special focus on improving the postdoc phase. The goals of the Postdoc Academy are to forster the development of scientific independence and advance the postdocs' competence profiles. Itis specifically tailored to the individual needs of researchers after the completion of the PhD. Finally, established researchers such as junior and tenure track professors receive targeted support as well as leading researchers. A jointly run Berlin Leadership Academy provides excellent training in leadership skills and thereby contributes to the establishment of a common leadership culture.
