REaCh

We promote young scientists!

The Assembly of Delegates of the TU-Nachwuchsring

In REaCh (former TU-Nachwuchsring) doctoral students, postdocs, junior research group leaders, junior professors and tenure-track professors from all departments of RPTU as well as external volunteers are committed to the motto "by and for young scientists".

The basis of REaCh is the Assembly of Delegates in which doctoral students and young scientists with doctorates of the RPTU in Kaiserslautern are represented (one representative per department and status group). In addition, the various institutions of the Research Initiative, Collaborative Research Centers and Research Training Groups of the RPTU have the possibility to delegate one additional person each.

The Assembly of Delegates meets once or twice a year to discuss budget issues, to elect the spokespersons of REaCh, to decide upon the members of the committees and to discus basic strategic issues. The development of the different funding lines then takes place in the committees of the Nachwuchsring.

You will find a list of the delegates together with information on the other organizational units of REaCh as well as on the work of the committees further down on this page.

The assembly of delegates is composed of one representative of the doctoral candidates (+ possibly a deputy) and one representative of the PhDs of each faculty. Coordinated programs and research initiatives can also send one representative each.

The assembly of delegates which meets once or twice a year discusses budget issues, elects the spokespersons and decides on the composition of the committees.

Committees

The committees assume the tasks assigned to them by the Assembly of Delegates and the Board of Management and report to them regularly. Among others, they take care of the conceptual formulation and further development of the various funding lines, further education programs and other concerns of the TU-Nachwuchsring. In addition, the committees are responsible for reviewing and deciding on incoming applications for funding.  

The delegates are mainly involved in the committees. They are supported by RPTU-internal and external volunteers who advise them.  

 

Current committees
