- supporting committees, especially the departmental council and the committee for teaching, studies and academic reform (LuST-Ausschuss) preparing and implementing resolutions passed by the departmental committees (e.g., organizing committee positions, agreements on teaching plans)
- departmental statements (e.g. research sabbaticals, additional gainful employment notifications for the purpose of adjunct teaching, Habilitationen [post-doctoral qualification], descriptions for special jobs)
- supporting academic search procedures
