The goal is to strengthen qualification measures for the Green & Digital Transition while simultaneously increasing the visibility of women in research and innovation processes. Within the framework of two focal areas – the open-topic Qualification Initiative and the Innovators module – professionals and innovators are sustainably supported through practical training formats, competency profile development, and cooperative pilot projects between science and industry.

A prerequisite for the grant is proof of financial security through a detailed cost, time, and financing plan, as well as economic viability without ongoing insolvency proceedings.
