The Academic Fixed-Term Contract Act - new developments
- New case law
- Open questions
- Reform plans - status and content
The Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz forms the basis for fixed-term employment relationships with academics at state and state-recognized universities and research institutions within the meaning of Section 5 WissZeitVG.
Recently, a number of decisions have been issued by state labor courts and the Federal Labor Court that have considerable practical significance. Despite this, there are still many unanswered questions. In addition, the legislator is taking action to reform the WissZeitVG. All of this will be discussed.
The employment of foreign scientists
- Employment
- Employment
- Termination of the employment relationship
The recruitment of qualified specialists is not only on everyone's lips in an academic context. We answer all your questions, from recruitment to the employment of foreign academics to the termination of the employment relationship, and explain what you should bear in mind during the "run" for the best minds.
Abuse of power in the scientific field
- Concept of abuse of power from a legal perspective
- Guidelines for dealing with such situations
- Rights and obligations of the persons concerned (especially in suspected cases)
In the recent past, there have been numerous media reports on the "abuse of power" in the scientific field. The question has repeatedly been raised as to whether the structures in science are possibly conducive to this phenomenon. In this event, this term will first be classified in legal terms. It will also look at how such constellations can or must be dealt with by the institution in specific cases. Finally, the rights and obligations of the persons concerned - especially in suspected constellations (i.e. both alleged "perpetrators" and alleged "victims") - will be discussed.
Funding law and science
- Third-party funded projects
- Grant notifications
- Termination of the employment relationship
The acquisition of third-party funding is becoming increasingly important, especially in the field of science. We explain what you need to bear in mind when applying for funding and in connection with grant notifications.
You can also use the event for networking
The employment of scientific and artistic staff, technical staff and other employees in scientific and research institutions is an exciting task that is subject to many legal regulations.
Many questions are specific to individual institutions or individuals, but in our experience, many questions arise repeatedly and in all institutions. So use the day to get to know your colleagues from other institutions, exchange ideas with your peer group and deepen your network.
