Coordinating Office “Cause-related Individual Diagnostics and Intervention in Defined School-related Developmental Disorders“

Project Description

In spring 2011, this coordinating office was established at the DIPF and LMU University, Munich, in the context of the initiative by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to promote empirical educational research. It was responsible for 20 research and cooperation projects funded by the BMBF within its programmes “School-Related Developmental Disorders (ESF)” and “Neurosciences / Learning and Instruction (NIL)” 

Project Objectives

The coordinating office provided for specialised organisational and technical prerequisites necessary for close collaboration and specialised support of projects funded within the BMBF research priorities ESF and NIL.

In order to ensure targeted support of the funded projects, the coordinating office pursued the following central objectives on behalf of the researchers involved:

• Internal networking of funded projects on the one hand, as well as networking the projects with external, thematically related research and developmental projects and subsequent evaluations.
  Annual meetings involving all of the funded projects aimed to promote the exchange among researchers and scientists involved in the respective projects. Networking activities also included annual international symposia in the field of school-related developmental disorders and meetings of young scientists.
• Preparation and transfer of findings from individual projects as well as general findings, making them available to the research community and the public in general.
