Fundamental Innovations of JWGU Graduate School Strategy
● Decision and process of the development and financing of
structured doctoral programmes for all faculties and departments
through concentrating and integrating of all activities and
resources for the support of young researchers in three graduate
schools
● Decision to finance the Frankfurt graduate schools by own central
university means with 800.000 Euro per year for scholarships and
structural measures for training, supervision and social support
● Decision to understand this development as priority task of the
president and to take over full responsibility for the sustainability of
these developments

IPPs in GermanyA 5 Years Success Story of International Structured Doctoral Programmes
● The New Approach: funding for structures not for stipends as an additional second column of doctoral support programmes
● 3 Main Emphases: doctoral degree within three years; new structures for doctoral training and supervision; internationalization – increase of foreign doctoral candidates
● 50 IPPs – 175.000 EUR per year for structure and programme measurements
● Objective: to convince all German universities of the necessity and effectiveness of modern training and supervision structures
● Results: enormous success for the participating programmes; beginning of a general development in the universities as well as confrontations between reform forces and conservative supervisors’ positions; the idea of structured doctoral programmes as a standard quality requirement for an outstanding university

Problems of Innovation and Integration IConcerns, Conflicts, Resistance: The Interests of Actors and Actor Groups
● ideal worlds and the reality of realisation and implementation
● different subject cultures
● different support traditions: scholarship versus structure
● different supervisors’ philosophy: apprenticeship model versus joint
supervision model
● no culture and experience in the design of research clusters
● no ideas and experiences in international co-operation and advertisement
● centralism versus de-centralism: organisation and decision concepts between the interest of the university / the presidential floor and the department’s concerns
a
a
EUA-BFUG Workshop Brussels 2006 PD Dr. Helmut Brentel 31
a
Problems of Innovation and Integration IIConcerns, Conflicts, Resistance: The Interests of Actors and Actor Groups
● self-awareness of some scholars to be excellent simply by title
and
through current practice
● concerns about quality assurance: resistance against
supervisors’
assessment
● concerns about increasing workload for committee participation
and
supervision
● lack of culture and techniques for learning and change – why
higher
learning institutions are not able to learn and to unlearn

Communication, Learning and Design Processes
Costs and Preconditions of a Successful and Effective Change
● responsibility and care of the university‘s top management:
the president himself takes care for the whole process
● importance of a moderated process: choice of moderators
external – internal
● workshops with internal/external experts, with department
chairs,
with supervisors, with the university’s graduate students
● tools for the support of joint analysis, learning and change:
SWOT analysis, Metaplan analysis, self-evaluation and
self-assessment tools
