Within the context of the "FH-Personal" programme, the Federal Government and the Länder promote concepts for sustainable personnel recruitment at universities of applied sciences. The goal is thus to improve the recruitment and professional development of professors. At Reutlingen University, the project is being implemented as the "professoRTalent" project.
