Scientific Advisory Board
The internationally-staffed, external Scientific Advisory Board is to lend critical-constructive support to the strategy of the Rectorate regarding research orientation, teaching, and organizational concepts of the University of Siegen, on its way to a regionally networked and internationally visible research university. As a rule, the Advisory Board meets annually. The first meeting was held in January 2011 with the participation of the executive Deans of the four schools and the chairman of the General Students’ Committee.
