Junior researchers whose teaching research project is funded within the framework of StuROPx have the opportunity to further their didactic training as part of the StuROPx qualification program. The aim is to prepare junior researchers for their task as leaders of (student) research groups and to accompany them in the process. Junior researchers who participate in at least 75 percent of the workshops offer will receive a certificate documenting their didactic training.
