This is Volume 2 of the book series The Road to Scientific Success: Inspiring Life Stories of Prominent Researchers . Authoritative scientists describe their life experiences in relation to how success was attained, how their careers were developed, how their research was steered, how priorities were set, and how difficulties were faced. These keys to success serve as a useful guide for anyone looking for advice on how to direct their career and conduct scientific research that will make an impact. The focus on the road to success (rather than scientific findings) and on personal experience ai

In The Peregrine Profession Per-Olof Grönberg offers an account of the pre-1930 transnational mobility of engineers and architects educated in the Nordic countries 1880-1919. Outlining a system where learning mobility was more important than labour market mobility, the author shows that more than every second graduate went abroad. Transnational mobility was stronger from Finland and Norway than from Denmark and Sweden, partly because of slower industrialisation and deficiencies in the domestic technical education. This mobility included all parts of the world but concentrated on the leading industrial countries in German speaking Europe and North America. Significant majorities returned and became agents of technology transfer and technical change. Thereby, these mobile graduates also became important for Nordic industrialisation

"The need for an immediate, transparent and sustainable dissemination of current research has become a prerequisite for the further development of science today. Making research results freely available online as Open Access is considered to achieve the widest possible dissemination worldwide. Everyone can access anywhere Open Access publications without any restrictions or paywalls. Meanwhile more and more academic institutions and universities have already started their own presses to publish books Open Access. In the present manual a sustainable and ideal workflow for producing and publishing academic books is presented. That workflow enables universities to publish their publications both as Open Access and printed books in a state-of-theart way and without any restrictions regarding the license, the variety of formats, print run etc. As proof of concepts we have processed different use cases which demonstrates the current status of the technically and economically possibilities in the publishing sector. Furthermore, data on time, costs and personnel resources were determined, which can be used by other universities and academic institutions to indicate the necessary investments for founding and operation of their own Open Access university presses.". Das vorliegende Dokument stellt eine Ergänzung zur im März 2020 erschienenen Publikation "Open-Access-Publikationsworkflow für akademische Bücher. Ein Handbuch für Hochschulen und Universitäten" von David Böhm, Alexander Grossmann, Michael Reiche und Antonia Schrader dar. Das Handbuch beschreibt einen nachhaltigen, allgemeingültigen State-of-the-Art-Workflow zur Herstellung und Distribution von akademischen Büchern, der es Hochschulen und Universitäten ermöglicht, bei weitest möglicher Verbreitung, Sichtbarkeit und Zugänglichkeit eigene Forschungsarbeiten und Graduierungsschriften in digitaler Form im Open Access (OA) und als gedrucktes Buch zu veröffentlichen. Dieses Workflow-Modell wird anhand ausgewählter Fallbeispiele als Proof of Concept demonstriert und spiegelt den aktuellen Stand der derzeit im Verlagsbereich technischen und wirtschaftlichen Möglichkeiten wider. Anhand der Fallbeispiele wurden zudem der Zeit-, Kosten- und Personalaufwand erfasst, sodass anderen Hochschulen und Universitäten Anhaltspunkte für nötige Investitionen bei der Gründung und dem Betrieb eigener OA-Hochschulverlage gegeben werden. Als Ergänzung zu den Kapiteln 4.3, 4.4.1 und 4.4.2 sowie Anhang C und D der bereits erschienenen Publikation, werden nachfolgend die Durchführung der Fallbeispiele 4 und 5, die erhobenen Daten zu diesen Fällen, die Ergebnisse der Datenanalyse und die Ladenpreiskalkulation für Fall 4 beschrieben. In diesem Dokument wird sich v. a. auf das im Hauptwerk vorgestellte Workflow-Modell (Kapitel 3), die Workflow-Rollen (Kapitel 3), beauftragten Dienstleister (Kapitel 4) und entwickelten Qualitätsrichtlinien (Anhang A) und Checklisten (Anhang B) bezogen. Für das Verständnis dieses Dokumentes ist das Hauptwerk daher unabdingbar.

This book provides a thorough description of just how varied and complex, how stressful and yet inspiring the cooperation between architect and engineer can be. It offers an insight into the complex relationship between the two professions: from the historical analysis and theoretical examination via an exploration of partial aspects such as the relationship between support structure and space or the graphic reflections by individual actors on the process of designing and building. As such, it provides architects and students with the tools for future cooperation.
