FOR 5727:  3D functionalization for radio frequency applications

• Subject Area: Computer Science, Systems and Electrical Engineering ; Chemistry ; Mechanical and Industrial Engineering ; Materials Science and Engineering ; Thermal Engineering/Process Engineering
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 528402728

The establishment of central management for the research group aims to ensure efficient administration and compliance with the project work plans. This includes monitoring the earmarked allocation of funds and modern project controlling. In addition to coordinating management, extensive measures are initiated and implemented to promote junior researchers and equal opportunities for female and male scientists. The function of data steward is of particular importance.
