The Senate of H-BRS

The Senate of the H-BRS is a central organ of self-administration. It decides on the regulations and gives recommendations and statements on the draft of the university development plan, the economic plan and the distribution of posts and funds. In addition, it comments on the annual accountability report of the President's Office. Together with the University Council, the Senate elects the members of the university management in the University Election Meeting.

Current dates: planned meetings of the Senate 2024 and 2025

Regular Senate meetings are preferably held on the 3rd Thursday of each month. In order to ensure that invitations are sent out on time, agenda items, including a brief written explanation of the topic, must be submitted to the Senate Chair at least ten days before the upcoming meeting; for regular meetings, this means by Monday at 12:00. Later submissions can usually only be considered at the following meeting. Please also indicate how much time should be scheduled for the proposed agenda item and send the complete attachments to the agenda item by the deadline.
