Abstract
How has the role of science/scientists changed by now? What is required to be a successful scientist today? The talk will try to highlight the main role and the implications that funding plays in a scientific career. This will also include the different possibilities of funding and the importance of collaborations between the scientific and the industrial community (different considerations will be done according to the size of the companies). Since interdisciplinarity is pivotal in contemporary science, the talk will not only be limited to engineers/computer scientists but can also be of interest for students of natural sciences and humanities.
