“Excellent research needs an environment in which scientists are given the freedom to think and work independently. Networking and dialogue with other researchers and industrial partners is also essential. It’s enormously helpful to hear an alternative perspective on a line of questioning. On a personal level what is needed is self-confidence and trust in your own intuition, so that you don’t get discouraged by external influences. And of course researchers need adequate resources and support to convert their ideas into excellent research results. This is particularly important for those with families, so that they can balance their laboratory and teaching work with their private lives.”
