Humboldt explains – Pitching my application-oriented research idea

How can you pitch your application-oriented research idea quickly, precisely and in a goal-oriented manner so that you can quickly convince your interview partners of your expertise and they are just as enthusiastic about your research idea as you are?

In the third episode of our explanatory film series "Humboldt explains", Alexander von Humboldt introduces you to pitching your own research idea for acquiring transfer-relevant funding for research projects. The biggest challenge here is to reduce the research idea to the most important aspects while remaining generally understandable. You can find out how to do this in a structured way in this video.
