Research Commission
The Research Commission of the University of Tübingen advises the President’s Office on in-house processes in the field of research, especially with regard to the promotion of junior researchers. It makes decisions on the awarding of intramural funding formats such as the Program for the Promotion of Junior Researchers, Innovation Grants, Athene, Summer/Winter Schools and Workshops. Members are the Vice Deans for Research of the large faculties, the spokespeople of the research platforms within the Excellence Strategy, and further representatives of various departments. They reflect a very wide range of disciplines.
The Faculty of Science also has its own Research Committee.
