forschungsorientierten

Forschungsorientierten is the inflected form of the German adjective forschungsorientiert, meaning "research-oriented" or "driven by research." It is used when the adjective modifies a noun in a context that requires a specific grammatical ending, typically after articles or determiners that trigger weak inflection.

In practice, forschungsorientierten appears in phrases such as:

- mit einem forschungsorientierten Ansatz (dative singular masculine)

- die forschungsorientierten Ansätze (nominative plural with definite article)

- der forschungsorientierten Hochschule (genitive singular feminine)

- den forschungsorientierten Projekten (dative plural)

Common usage contexts include academia, industry, and policy-making, where institutions, programs, or activities emphasize research as a central driver. Examples:

- forschungsorientierte Lehre in Hochschulen

- forschungsorientierte Produktentwicklung in Unternehmen

- eine forschungsorientierte Strategie in Forschungs- und Entwicklungsabteilungen

Forschungsorientierung can also be expressed as a noun, Forschungsorientierung, referring to the general orientation toward research in an organization, program, or curriculum.

Synonyms and related terms include forschungsgetrieben and forschungsbasierte Ansätze, which convey similar ideas but with slightly different nuance. The term emphasizes evidence-based, inquiry-driven approaches and is common in discussions about Hochschulkultur, Forschungsförderung, und Innovationsmanagement.
