The HZDR makes significant contributions to solving the major challenges facing society - with real, concrete and measurable benefits and impact. The HZDR is committed to excellence and a leading international position, not only in research and the operation of large research infrastructures, but also in transfer. Knowledge and technology transfer are directly part of the HZDR's social mission and statutory purpose. The HZDR's mission statement states: "By actively exploiting its research results, the HZDR makes a significant contribution to the future viability of the economy and society".
With its Transfer Strategy 2025+, the HZDR has set itself the overarching goal of further increasing its success in the field of knowledge and technology transfer, while at the same time expanding the visibility of the HZDR.
Measures have been defined to implement the strategy, including the development of suitable incentive systems for scientific staff as well as management levels.
The aim of this work is to record the current incentive system and to work out the weaknesses, taking into account current literature and existing surveys at the HZDR. Based on these results, a new incentive system is to be developed with the involvement of stakeholders at the centre (surveys, workshops).
