Academic mid-level
Academic mid-level
Welcome on the website of the academic mid-level staff of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at Bielefeld University!
Why should you play a part in the academic mid-level?
- Use your say and express your opinion as an employee!
- Get in touch with colleagues and exchange ideas in our regular meetings in a relaxed atmosphere, enjoying a coffee, cookies and cake!
- Be up-to-date what's going on in the Faculty!
- Be inspired by our new format of "impulse talks" addressing matters such as research, teaching and self-management!
- Get to know the internal administrative structures of a university!
- Take responsibility and represent us at board meetings! That is, if you like to do this ;-)
- What we do
We represent the interests of all non-professorial academic employees of our faculty by means of:
- our representatives with voting power in the faculty's board meetings and committees (e.g., examination boards, hiring committees, equality committees) within our faculty and university-wide,
- our participation at the university's faculty overarching academic mid-level council,
- discussions of news from the faculty and the university, including matters of general interest and the preparation of events that are relevant for the mid-level within our regular mid-level meetings.
If you have any questions concerning our duties and contributions we are happy to help: mittelbau-wiwi@uni-bielefeld.de
- Our representatives
The academic mid-level of our faculty is represented by four spokespersons, who can be approached with any questions, concerns, or other matters related to the academic mid-level. In the faculty's board meeting, the academic mid-level is represented by two spokespersons with voting rights; the other two spokespersons serve as their personal deputies when needed.
