Bringing your own research into teaching and leading a student research team - this is what the Student Research Opportunities Programx (StuROPx) of the Berlin University Alliance (BUA) makes possible. Applications are open until June 1, 2025.

PhD students, postdocs or junior professors who are institutionally affiliated with one of the four collaborative institutions - Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin - can apply for the research groups by submitting a project outline. Based on their own research, they develop a research topic that they would like to investigate together with students. The young researchers take on the role of research group leaders. The selected projects are supported with a teaching assignment and the leaders of the X-Student Research Groups are accompanied by a by a qualification program on research based learning in higher education.

The program enables students to participate in real research projects during their studies and to gain research experience. Students from all four collaborative institutions can participate in the funded courses, creating a diverse learning and research environment that transcends disciplines and institutes.

Applications are reviewed by an interdisciplinary committee consisting of members from all collaborating institutions. The reviewers ensure that exciting, innovative projects are funded and that students are involved in as many phases of the planning and implementation of the research projects as possible.
