To enable synergy as well as to balance breadth versus focus, we encourage participants with a background in i) the core of PSE or in ii) broader Chemical Engineering and/or Process Engineering ( Verfahrenstechnik ) wanting to move towards PSE. Background PSE is an internationally established research field, which also has a long history in Germany. Within the DFG, it was recently introduced as a subject area within the review board 4.21. Currently, there is a shortage of early career investigators with a potential to become leaders in PSE within the next few years, as well as some confusion about the definition of PSE.
