Q-Teams
The Concept
Q-Teams are student research teams, supervised by PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. Within the framework of an on-going research project based at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin or at a cooperating extramural research institute, the students work on a question of their own devising. Through research-based learning, they gain experience of and insight into research, either in their own subjects or in an interdisciplinary context.
The Format
A Q-Team is made up of five to ten students, ideally from different departments. It meets over a period of one to two semesters.
The Q-Team leaders (PhD students, postdocs or other junior researchers) are granted a temporary teaching contract for the supervision of a Q-Team, and can take part our accompanying programme on higher education didactics. They supervise the content and methodology of the project, gain mentoring and teaching experience and, thanks to the (interdisciplinary) exchange with the students, can gather ideas and suggestions for their own research projects.
In an ideal scenario, the students experience the entire research process, from formulating a question to publishing the results.
Students interested in participating will find further information on course content and registration on Agnes.
