In this Excercise a more in-depth overview of the process of a research process is given, from finding an appropriate idea for research through the organization and implementation, to the final report or the final presentation of the results. Comprehensive examples are given of how funding for (future) research projects of various kinds can be acquired and how grant applications should be structured. Subsequently, the students design, plan and present in small groups a research project or third-party funded project, which includes the development of an own project idea, the planning of a project group, the development of a methodical concept as well as a cost calculation.
