Formal UV meetings take place twice a semester and are open to the public. Protocols of the meetings are made public under UV documents<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The UV decides on the budget, appoints Referent*innen and sends students to the university’s Kollegialorgane to represent student concerns. The UV is a steering body; most of the representative work is carried out by the UV chair team and the members of the UV team who are organized into different Referate. Apart from being reachable by email you can also come to ask questions in person during their office hours<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For general inquiries to the UV, it is best to contact our secretary<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The 9 mandates elect a chair team among themselves, consisting of a chairman and up to two deputies. The chair team represents the students externally and also before internal committees. It takes care of the organization of the UV meetings, regular exchanges with the Rectorate and the Bundes \u00d6H.<\/p>\n\n\n\n E-mail: vorsitzteam@hufak.net<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n The departments take care of daily tasks in a wide variety of subject areas.
