Senate Commission for Research and Graduate Services
The Commission for Research and Graduate Development gets established and appointed by the Senate. It advises the Senate on fundamental questions of research and graduate development, fundings and services, which go beyond the scope of a single faculty. In addition, it prepares resolutions to these topics, e.g. regarding the allocation of funds for the internal university research and graduation programmes.
