Mentors
The mentoring program is the embedding of projects and activities of the graduate school in business practice. It aims to anchor the Research Training Group in industrial issues in order to achieve a close link between theory and practice. The mentors are experienced representatives of innovation and IP management and are the contact for the doctoral students for technical and professional questions. They have a recommendatory function when it comes to questions relating to the content of research and further training projects. The mentoring program gives the mentees access to a personally committed network of decision-makers in order to promote professional orientation, reflection and professional development for management tasks.
