The decision will come into force on November 1st, 2016 and will replace the previous decision from 2011.

The President may delegate this right to the Dean and the Dean to his/her subordinates. An employment contract can thus only be signed by those who have been delegated this right.
School representatives and other stakeholders were consulted in the preparation of the President’s new decision which enables a wider delegation of approval rights. will be annually updated to ensure the continuous development of decision making and the digitalization of processes at the University.
