JA@UTOPIA Current situation: CVB Dean 1 Dean 2 Institute director 1 Chair 3 Dean 3 Institute director 4 Institute director 5 Chair 4 Chair 5 Chair 6 Chair 2 Chair n UHD UD TT 1

JA@UTopia Problems: 2 bosses with conflicting interests (dean and institute director) Financial evaluation is placed above doing good research The allocation model is not transparent Position of TT unclear Scientific merits are not always valued, old rights/good lobbying often works • Support organization suboptimal, centralization does not work for everything • Enormous amounts of committees • • • 2

JA@UTopia Ideal organization : • • • One chief to deal with (either dean or director) Research institutes are important Flat organization TT is on equal footing with the tenured staff (like in American system) TT is scientifically and financially independent Overhead/management should be reduced (also for the new education system) 3

JA@UTOPIA Allocation: • Ideally salary and lab facilities are covered by university based on scientific quality indicator • Ph. D students and postdoc expenses are financed by projects (flexibility in full cost model-transparency). • Long term stability of policy to provide stability for research groups • Declaration of hours for committee work 4
