Since 2017, three cohorts of master's students and PhD students have been supported in writing their theses. The program was initiated by Muhamed Kudic (formerly University of Bremen, now University of Siegen) in collaboration with Jutta Günther (University of Bremen) and Gero Stenke (Stifterverband). The implementation and execution of the INNcentiv workshops was actively supported by Jessica Birkholz (University of Bremen) and Bettina Gerhard (Stifterverband).

Now, a modern brochure with many photos portrays the sponsored participants and the workshops. Each of the funded projects is characterized by a high degree of novelty in empirical-quantitative or experimental methods. Numerous projects also produced novel data sets for innovation research. Many graduates are now working independently in science, in companies or through start-ups.

At this year's INNcentive workshop, which will take place online on March 11, 2021, all those funded since 2017 will have the opportunity to present their work, engage in conversation, and network activites.

Interested parties are invited and asked to register to attend by contacting Jessica Birkholz at: jessica.birkholzprotect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de
