Following the election of Prof Dr J?rg Wallaschek as the new President of Paderborn University last November, the non-full-time Vice Presidents have now also been appointed. They were elected today, Friday 2 February, by the University Election Assembly and will start their six-year term of office together with J?rg Wallaschek on 1 April. From spring, the new Executive Board will include Prof. Dr Beate Flath as Vice President for Teaching and Studies, Prof. Dr René Fahr as Vice President for Transfer and Sustainability and Prof. Dr Matthias Bauer as Vice President for Research and Junior Academics. Simone Probst, full-time Vice President for Business and Personnel Administration, will remain in office.
The candidates proposed by J?rg Wallaschek presented themselves to the university public in a hearing. Prof. Dr Jürgen Brautmeier, Chairman of the University Election Assembly, is very satisfied with the result: "The academics who have now been elected to office are characterised by their relevant expertise and wealth of experience. I am certain that the new Executive Board will continue to steer the university's destiny in the interests of a sustainable future."
Beate Flath is Professor of Event Management with a focus on pop music cultures and digital media cultures and Managing Director of the research centre "C:POP.Transdisciplinary Research Center for Popular Music Cultures and Creative Economies". René Fahr, who is already Vice President for Knowledge and Technology Transfer in the current Executive Board, holds the professorship for "Business Administration, in particular Corporate Governance" at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics. Chemist Matthias Bauer heads the "Inorganic Chemistry of Sustainable Processes" department and is currently Dean of Research at the Faculty of Natural Sciences.
J?rg Wallaschek: "I am very much looking forward to continuing the success story of Paderborn University in the coming years together with my excellent colleagues."
