Until further notice, Ulm University provides additional funds for illness- or family-related staff shortages in secretariats (whose personnel administration is provided by the Central University Administration). These promote and facilitate cross-departmental substitute assignments. In the past, several days or weeks of illness- or family-related staff shortage usually compromised the entire institute or department. The substitute pool was created to help with those situations.

The University financially supports initiatives where several institutions team up for mutual support in cases of family- or illness-related staff shortage (inter-institutional substitute pools) with additional staffing resources.

Requirements and further information

True to the motto 'stronger together', we welcome a wide participation in the substitute pool:

Registration for participation in the substitute pool

It is not absolutely necessary to register in order to be active as substitute staff within this pool. It merely makes the staff planning easier.

Ulm University has established a secretary network with the objective to develop a system for better and more efficient communication and support for new colleagues. The mailing list netzwerk-sekretariat(at)lists.uni-ulm.de has more than 70 subscribers already. You can ask questions on all kinds of topics relating to the world of secretariats.
