Elisabeth Ewen, Director of Human Resources, Corporate Culture and Law at the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft e. V., is a new member of the University Council at Paderborn university. The lawyer was officially appointed by the Ministry of Culture and Science (MKW) of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and previously elected by a selection committee and the University Senate. The term of office is based on that of the fourth University Council and ends on 2 March 2028.
As the central body of the University, the University Council is responsible, among other things, for supervising the economic management of the Presidential Board. It makes recommendations and takes a position on matters of research, teaching, studies and knowledge transfer that affect the entire University.
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Brautmeier, Chairman of the Selection Committee and the University Council, explains: "With Ms. Ewen, we are gaining a very qualified and experienced personality from the field of national research organisations. She will be a welcome reinforcement and enrichment for the University Council of Paderborn University. I look forward to future cooperation with her and the entire new University Council, which was constituted earlier this year."
Ewen is also looking forward to her new honorary office with anticipation: "I am very pleased with the trust placed in me by the selection committee and the Senate. My goal will be to bring the most diverse aspects from the so important cooperation between the university and non-university research institutions into the work of the University Council."
