Innovation by Supervising – a Helmholtz Transfer Academy for Supervisors

Welcome to InnoSuper – Innovation by Supervising

What is InnoSuper all about?

Supervisors in the scientific, technical, and infrastructural areas play a crucial role for the promotion of our talents and young scientists, and thus for the innovative strength of our centers - a diverse and at the same time challenging task.

Our three-part training program for supervisors provides in-depth knowledge in the field of transfer and innovation. Supervisors learn how to strengthen their team's transfer potential and thus their position as a driving force in research and development!

How did InnoSuper develop?

As a project funded by the Helmholtz Association as part of the Helmholtz Transfer Academies, we, a consortium consisting of FZJ, KIT, HZDR, and GFZ, developed the InnoSuper program between 2023 and 2025.

The aim of the InnoSuper program is to provide training for supervisors of young scientists in the field of innovation and transfer at the centers in order to ensure long-term transfer success in their teams. To this end, supervisors learn how to recognize and support transfer potential in their teams.

By “transfer,” we mean the transfer and application of scientific results in society and industry. There are many different ways to put transfer into practice. Whether basic research or application-oriented research, there are many suitable transfer paths. InnoSuper provides a broad overview of knowledge and Technology Transfer and is thus open to all disciplines and centers.

We know that research center employees strive to expand the boundaries of knowledge and have a significant impact on the world. InnoSuper supports them on this path by bridging the gap between scientific discoveries and their practical applications.
