Faculty Committees

Facilities Planning, Construction, and Management Committee

The Facilities Planning, Construction, and Management Committee (Baukommission) is responsible for Faculty’s campus development in the areas of research and education. The committee prepares building applications and advises on priorities concerning the building projects of Faculty and Universitätsklinikum Erlangen. It also deals with the naming of buildings, e.g. sponsoring of lecture halls, donations etc.

Budget Committee

The Budget Committee is responsible for the financial basis of the Faculty of Medicine. It prepares decisions of the Faculty Board concerning the distribution of the achievement-orientated budget (LOM) for research and teaching. It works out the LOM-budget of the Faculty. By request, it talks with professors who need a correction of this budget to accommodate their specific needs. The Budget Committee sets priorities regarding applications for the task force that distributes the central share of the DFG program allowance. It uses the administration of  Universitätsklinikum Erlangen to realize its tasks.
