Common verbs used with 'Forschungsgruppe' (research group) are 'eine Forschungsgruppe leiten' (to lead a research group), 'einer Forschungsgruppe angehören' (to belong to/be part of a research group), or 'eine Forschungsgruppe gründen' (to found a research group).

working group
An Arbeitsgruppe can work on any kind of task or project. A Forschungsgruppe, by contrast, consists of scientists or researchers and explicitly pursues a scientific project or focuses on a scientific field. At a university, Arbeitsgruppe is therefore suitable for general tasks, while Forschungsgruppe is used for scientific research.
