The junior professorship regularly offers further training courses for history teachers of all school types and grades, history departments at schools, trainee teachers and student assistants, subject leaders at the centers for practical teacher training and study seminars, as well as multipliers and actors in historical-political education. Cooperation partners in the past have included the Körber Foundation (Hamburg), the Haus der Geschichte (Bonn), the Städteregion Aachen and the Goethe Institute (Cairo). Furthermore, the research area is involved with contributions to the RUB Teachers Day.
