The two supporting projects provide an essential base for the research projects and the TRR as a whole. In Phase 1 we decided – as a first goal – to
dedicate these projects to the people involved in the TRR to form a strong team and to enable the researchers at all levels of their career to be able to focus on their scientific progress. The Modul Graduiertenkolleg (Integrated Research Training Group) (MGK) project will establish an Integrated Research Training Group to offer the team of PhD students an attractive development framework within the TRR. This includes opportunities to explore the various sites and infrastructures involved. The second goal is to establish the TRR as an organization which is well-connected with the scientific community as well as internationally visible. Finally, the research-supporting tasks are bundled in the Central Tasks Project Z, including the Research Data Management (RDM).
