Basics of the Law on Fixed-term Contracts ('WissZeitVG')

A workshop offered by the Human Resources Development

The online workshop provides an initial overview of the law on fixed-term contracts, in particular the "Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz". The following questions will be answered during the workshop: How to calculate the 12-year maximum term? In which constellations is a contract extension possible? How does the time limit work in the case of third-party funding? Is it possible to have a fixed-term contract at the university according to regulations other than the "Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz"? How many contracts are possible at all? With whom does the scientific staff conclude the employment contract?

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay for the event?

No. Human Resource Development will cover all the costs incurred.

An event is fully booked. Is there a waiting list?

Yes. If an event is fully booked, we will put you on the waiting list. You may then move up the list if a space becomes free with enough time still to go before the event starts.

Is there any childcare available during the event?

If you need childcare during the event, please contact the Office of Family Services at the University of Bonn.

Can people from outside the University take part in the event too?

The further training offers provided by Human Resource Development at the University of Bonn are only open to people who have signed a work contract with the University, are enrolled as a doctoral student, are conducting research on behalf of the University or are an associated member of a research consortium.

What does “confirmation of attendance” or “certificate” mean?

You will usually be given a certificate at all our events that confirms your attendance at the event and its content.

We also offer a certificate program along the three "Career Tracks": "Research", "Research Management" and "Business & Organizations". For more information, please see the corresponding page of the certificates. If the currently displayed training course can be credited to one of the three "tracks", this is indicated accordingly.
