Representative Bodies
The task of the university’s various staff councils is to represent the concerns and interests of its staff at collective level vis-à-vis the university as the employer.
In many matters, the staff councils must be heard before a decision is made. However, it can also be the case that a decision on certain issues is only reached through joint consultation between the university as the employer and the staff council. The staff councils also help with the integration of foreign employees and work closely with groups representing young people, trainees and apprentices.
