Scientific Qualification
The CarLa Project - Career Lab Osnabrück (CarLa)
CarLa is a project designed to increase the number of applications for professor positions at Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS). One key goal is to attract and qualify applicants. A number of targeted measures support those interested in the career path to a UAS professorship.
Potential applicants will be individually guided on their career path to a UAS professorship. This opens up needs-based professional development providing flexible support to potential candidates – be it doctoral programs, research, teaching experience, and/or professional experience. At the end stands a person formally qualified for a UAS professorship. One unique component of CarLa is its long-term approach and attention to individual life phases and career plans. Combining needs-based professional development with different stages of family life must become a top priority to pave the way specifically for women to embark on a UAS professorship.
In the so called Talent Academies or Graduate Schools, interested students are accompanied on their career path to a professorship and supported in acquiring the necessary building blocks of a doctorate, teaching and professional practice. In addition, the Graduate Schools see themselves as experimental places for academic qualification that motivate through challenging and future-oriented applied research and aim to promote academic discourse and academic-practical dialogue. The three Graduate Schools ‘Health & Living’, ‘Smart Factory & Products’ and ‘Talents for Green Transformation’ focus on different subject areas in order to enable optimal and subject-specific access to the qualification modules.

CarLa - Graduate School Health & Living
The Graduate School Health & Living at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences is aimed at different target groups and is to be understood as a platform for qualification as well as methodological and professional exchange in the profile of health and social affairs. The target groups range from Master's students and doctoral students to people who have already completed their doctorates and who are still lacking a component to qualify for a professorship at a university of applied sciences.
We would like to accompany the generational change and promote the employability of those interested as well as point out career paths. Qualification is particularly needed in the newly academicised health professions. For this reason, the Graduate School Health & Living supports on the path to a university professorship.
The Graduate School is a platform for qualification as well as methodological and professional exchange in the profile of health and social care. The mission and vision of the Graduate School is to stimulate creative research processes and to promote innovative thinking for a Learning Health System.
The participants can expect:
Strengthening of methodological competence
Individual, qualified support and advice
Integration into the scientific community
Practising transdisciplinarity
Strengthening translational skills
Pointing out career paths:
Forming their own scientific community
A building block system makes it possible to develop and qualify the building blocks that are individually missing in personal biographies. The focus is on the very different building blocks of doctoral studies, professional practice and teaching experience. The modules are discussed and put together individually and taught using various methods and event formats.
The mission of the Graduate School is thus to provide needs-based support and encouragement in order to stimulate a creative research process and to promote innovative thinking for a Learning Health System.

Promoting Young Talent in the GMDS
The GMDS Young Researchers Programme was set up to provide targeted support to student members and young researchers within the GMDS during their academic careers. However, the activities are not only focussed on members; it is also important to get school students interested in the GMDS's subject areas and to recruit them as junior staff in the long term.
