Committees and representatives
Active shaping of university life
Coburg University of Applied Sciences has a large number of committees and responsible persons who are actively involved in shaping and organizing university life. These structures ensure that important topics such as research, teaching and student matters are effectively coordinated and implemented. Both internal committees and specially appointed individuals play a central role in ensuring high quality in all areas and representing the interests of university members.
Committees
Art in architecture working group
The Art in Architecture working group deals with existing works of art at the university (façade, interior or exterior), their relevance, authorship and locations. Sub-areas include "art in architecture", new placement of existing works of art or the placement of new works of art. To begin with, the working group is aiming to produce a brochure on the historical works of art.
Committee for Research and Young Scientists
This committee deals with the promotion and development of research activities and the support of young researchers. Its tasks include the strategic planning and coordination of research projects, ensuring the quality of scientific work and creating framework conditions that offer young researchers optimal conditions for their scientific careers.
Ethics Committee
The Ethics Committee (EC) of Coburg University of Applied Sciences has the task of assessing research projects that touch on ethical issues and issuing opinions on them. The assessment of ethical relevance is the responsibility of the researchers and those involved in the research projects they are conducting. Supervisors, doctoral candidates and students (final theses) are fully responsible for compliance with the ethical principles of Coburg University of Applied Sciences. This essentially concerns research projects involving human subjects. As a result, it is not necessary to apply for an ethics vote for every study or thesis that involves a survey, for example.
