University administration

The Organisational Development Officer is dedicated to the coordination and management of central university development projects at the interface between university administration and the academic sector. This includes projects and processes that work towards a service-orientated and at the same time legally compliant university administration.

Areas of activity:

• Organisation and business processes
  • Further development of business process management and establishment of a process map for the university administration departments
  • Survey and optimisation of cross-departmental and interdisciplinary processes
• Change management
  • Needs assessment in the departments and development of internal process knowledge
  • Management of interdepartmental and interdisciplinary projects
• E-governance and administrative modernisation
  • Managing the strategic direction of the campus management system
  • Prioritising the administration's digitalisation strategy, taking into account the overall organisational process concept
  • Examination and integration of legal framework conditions for the university in the context of digitalisation

The legal department supports the university management, committees, employees and representatives of the university in legal and general legal matters. Key areas of responsibility include drafting and editing the statutes and regulations of the university and the statutes and regulations for studies and teaching, advising and supporting the administrative departments and service centres in subject-specific legal matters, advising and supporting the drafting and negotiation of contracts and acting as an appeals office, particularly in university and examination law, student and other administration (excluding budget and personnel matters).

This includes

• the review of facts and processing of legal disputes
• the processing of objection procedures in admission, enrolment, examination and exmatriculation matters
• the processing of legal proceedings in admission, enrolment, examination and exmatriculation matters
• Processing requests for information from parties involved in proceedings and their representatives
• the granting of access to files
• Processing other legal matters (legal opinions, in particular contract law)

Studying, working, teaching and researching healthily together - a healthy working and study environment is important to us. Together with various cooperation partners, we regularly offer our students and employees free programmes, events and information on the topics of physical and mental health. An important tradition at HNEE is the annual Health Day, which invites all members of the university to take part in exciting workshops, lectures and hands-on activities. The → Healthy University Working Group is also part of the health management programme.

Further information and an overview of current health campaigns at HNEE can be found in → CampusWorks.

I would be happy to inform you about planned health campaigns and add you to our health e-mail distribution list. Just write to me!

With the help of analyses, reports and forecasts, the University Controlling Officer supports the decisions of the university management, the schools and departments, the administration and the central institutions. As an early warning system, the aim is to identify risks and opportunities at an early stage.

Our university memory, the archive, primarily serves to document our history and as an administrative archive.

University members can find further information and forms in → CampusWorks. File searches are carried out via → AUGIAS.
