Given the fact that transfer services predominantly result from research, the Vice-Rectorate unites the thematically interlinked areas of research and transfer. The Vice-Rectorate is responsible for the development of excellence in research with a view to participation in the national excellence competition and, beyond that, with a view to developing excellent framework conditions for research and transfer. Its remit thus covers strategic, cross-faculty matters pertaining to research and transfer.
