Management of Professorial Appointments

Appointment management generally encompasses the planning, implementation and control of appointment processes in order to attract the best candidates for the respective position.

Effective appointment management is important to ensure that the university finds the right people with the right skills and qualifications to achieve its goals. Accordingly, it requires close and trusting cooperation between all those involved in the process, who objectively represent the interests of the university as a whole and promote the overall objectives of the respective departmental and university strategy.
