Core Team


The core team is the operational center of the federation. It primarily takes on tasks that arise in a similar form at all participating sites and which can therefore be managed jointly in a sensible and resource-saving manner. In addition, it promotes exchange between the sites and takes care of all organizational and administrative matters of the Federation. The core team consists of 12 employees at two locations. For the universities of applied sciences, the core team is located at the University Service Center Baden-Württemberg (HSZ-BW) in Reutlingen, for the universities at the University of Heidelberg.
