Structure of the Staff Council

The Staff Council is composed of representatives of the two groups of employees at the university, employees and civil servants. In addition, there is a separate representation for young employees and trainees who, together with the staff council, represent the specific interests of this group of employees. There is close cooperation with the representative body for employees with severe disabilities and the equal opportunities officer. The regular election period of the staff council is five years. The current electoral term ends on May 31, 2027, therefore a staff council election will take place between March and May 2027. The staff council at the TU Ilmenau currently consists of 13 members and is made up of representatives of the employee groups

  • Group of employees (12 members) and

  • Group of civil servants (1 members)

The various issues that appear in the different groups can be best understood by the staff council members who belong to these employee groups, because they know the work areas and conditions on site.
