The project InWiDeHo aims to examine whether international scientists are faced with obstacles in transitioning from the postdoc phase to permanent employment as a professor at German universities and, if so, which ones. To this end, international junior researchers and newly appointed professors will be interviewed in the framework of a qualitative study. Subsequently, surveys will be conducted at German universities to determine which organizational objectives and measures can help to reduce these hurdles. The results will be used to derive recommendations for action to promote the retention of international scientists in Germany and, in particular, to increase the proportion of international professors at German universities.
