Within the framework of the "funding focus on talents" ("Förderschwerpunkt Talente), (potential) researchers are funded in the application-oriented, scientific and technical RTI area. The funding instruments are aimed at children and young people (internships for pupils, regional talents) as well as researchers (career grants, job exchange) and address equal opportunities in research (FEMtech student internships, FEMtech career (check), FEMtech research projects). The Research Partnerships ("Forschungspartnerschaften") program supports dissertation projects in companies and non-university research institutions. The evaluation focuses on the analysis of the funding concepts, the implementation and the effects of the programmes.
