Trainer
After obtaining her PhD in Astrophysics, Dr. Sabine Preusse, decided to quit academia in 2006 and move on to the project management of European Funded Research projects in the Steinbeis-Europa-Zentrum. Besides writing grant proposals and being a project manager in the field of production technologies, she further trained herself as a business economist (IWW) and a professional business trainer. With this she founded her own company RaumZeit e.K. Coaching Training Beratung in 2011 and is now (also as a professional business coach) supporting researchers of all levels and disciplines in grant proposal writing, the implementation of research projects, dissemination and exploitation of project results, and Open Educational Resources.

Since 2011 Sabine Preusse has given more than 150 two-day workshops on grant proposal writing and more than 80 coachings with respect to grant proposal writing, design of research projects and career for young researchers, postdocs and professors.
