Curriculum vitae

Martin Grund has been working at iit Berlin since 2022. Since 2023, he has been project leader for the iit in the European joint project “Sustainable Careers for Researcher Empowerment” and heads the work package for the dissemination and transfer of project results. He supports the Ministry of General Education and Vocational Training, Science, Research and Culture (MBWFK) of the Land Schleswig-Holstein in the strategic development of transfer and digitization at universities. In the BMFTR funding program “Mein Bildungsraum”, he co-leads the “strategy” division and develops ideas for digital education. As a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, he earned his doctorate on the neural basis of conscious sensory perception. Next to his basic research, he engaged in the further development of the doctoral phase in Germany (including as spokesperson for the Max Planck Society's doctoral researcher network). He has been on the advisory board of the BMFTR-funded platform wissenschaftskommunikation.de since 2019.
