Evaluation des Bund-Länder-Programms zu Förderung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs (Nachwuchspakt)

Im Rahmen des Bund-Länder-Programm zur Förderung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses (Nachwuchspakt) sollte ein durch bessere Planbarkeit und Sicherheit ausgezeichneter alternativer Karriereweg für Nachwuchswissenschaftler geschaffen werden. Angelehnt an dem im anglo-amerikanischen Raum bereits üblichen Tenure System, wurden in zwei Auswahlrunden (2017, 2019), an 75 Hochschulen 1000 Tenure-Track Professuren vergeben, welche bis 2032 vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung gefördert werden.

Hard-to-reach Populations in Political Science Research

Workshop - Online Event

Political scientists often want to study members of hard-to-reach populations.

With such a broad definition, we might include opposition groups (from the right or the left), sexual minorities, political brokers, or refugees, to say some. While many methods have been developed to approach and study hidden populations, they have seldom been applied in political science research.
