The quality assurance of appointment procedures, including transparency, duration of procedures, information flow, gender equality and diversity sensitivity, is of crucial importance for the future direction of TU Braunschweig. Every newly appointed person is called upon to participate in academic self-administration and can be appointed as a member of an appointment committee or be entrusted with the chairmanship of the committee. TU Braunschweig has its own appointment law and must ensure the quality of its appointment procedures itself.

In the workshop, you will learn and discuss the basics of the approval and appointment procedure for filling a professorship at TU Braunschweig. The recruitment requirements for candidates according to the Lower Saxony Higher Education Act will be addressed as well as possible procedural hurdles in the work of an appointment committee. The aim of the event is to provide you with the necessary information about the newly introduced online application management at TU Braunschweig in order to be able to organize and carry out quick and successful appointment procedures.

• Anne Fritz, Head of Department 12 - Human Resources

Venue: Meeting room of the Presidential Board, Universitätsplatz 2 (Forum), 1st floor, room 117a/b

The lecture sheds light on thinking mechanisms and how they can influence - and sometimes distort - our decisions. Particularly in connection with personnel decisions - from recruitment or appointment to the assessment and promotion of people - we are required to make our decisions based on criteria that are as objective as possible in order to select the best candidates. It is therefore particularly worthwhile here to examine the conscious and unconscious thought processes that can run counter to this claim.

In his lecture, Prof. Dr. Martin Korte will provide insights into the findings of neurobiology and explain how we can use this knowledge to improve our decisions.

Welcome by the President Prof. Dr. Angela Ittel; lecture by Prof. Dr. Martin Korte, Zoological Institute, Department of Cellular Neurobiology, TU Braunschweig

In the personal kick-off meeting, we will inform you as a newly appointed professor about the exclusive welcome offer and other offers from the Project House in the field of university and media didactics as well as the further development of leadership and personal skills. We will contact you to arrange an appointment, but of course you can also contact us at any time.

Junior and tenure-track professors want to talk to successful and established professors - we invite you. Ask me anything: Together with a group of interested junior and tenure-track professors, you can talk online for an hour with your preferred professor about the academic or science management topics that concern you. It's time for the question you've always wanted to ask.

After you have worked at TU Braunschweig for a few semesters, it can be useful to reflect on your individual goals and look at your target agreements. During the pit stop, we will give you an overview of the events and consultations you have completed at the Project House and discuss any further requirements.

Individual coaching gives you the opportunity to think through specific practical or management issues in a targeted manner. In an initial meeting, you clarify your concerns and goals with the coach and agree on the further course of the process. In confidential discussions, for example, questions about reflecting on your role as a manager, managing employees or time and self-management are dealt with. Ideas from the Science and Leadership Forum can also be taken up and explored in greater depth. Together with your coach, you will develop solutions for specific issues. You will also be supported by your coach during the implementation phase. (AE according to scope)
