FiF commission

TU Darmstadt considers interdisciplinarity as part of its university culture and as an instrument of research strategy. In line with its overall concept, it promotes interdisciplinary cooperation in research and teaching under the aspects of responsibility, safety and sustainability.

The tasks of the FiF commission

In organisational terms, research funding is subject to the Presidential Board. Responsibility for the selection and decision-making procedures has been transferred to the FiF commission. The FiF office has no voting rights within this framework.

The FiF commission is responsible for the tendering, consultation, review, approval and evaluation of the projects and is appointed directly by the Senate and is composed on an interdisciplinary basis. The FiF director is the chairman of the commission.
