Goals

The goal of the Advisory Board is to receive external feedback on the activities of our faculty in research and teaching at regular intervals of three to five years within the framework of a “review”. In addition, the Advisory Board advises our faculty on strategic issues for the future. In a booklet, the faculty informs the Advisory Board about past activities and plans for the future. During the subsequent three-day visit of the Advisory Board members in Leipzig, they can get a detailed picture.
