Relief for female board members
To support and promote the commitment of female committee members, the BTU provides annual funds to relieve their workload. Relief can be provided by applying for personnel funds for the employment of academic assistants. In addition, upon application, funding is now also granted for e.g. participation in continuing education courses and for technical equipment for committee work.
Who is sponsored?
All femalemembers of the Senate, Senate Committees, and Faculty Councils from any status group may apply for matching funds.
Application
In case of simultaneous membership in the senate and in a faculty council, a double application can be made. Approval is always subject to the financial requirements. There is no legal claim to the funding.
