Information for Scientists

If you would like to apply for leave, please inform the secretary's office of your chair using a leave form. Please submit the completed leave form with the original signature of yourself and your direct supervisor.

The secretariat of your chair will provide you with information about your remaining leave or entitlement from the previous year, if you wish.

Vacation Form

If you are ill, please let your secretary know on the first day. An email (with your supervisor in cc) is sufficient.

If you are ill for more than 3 days (note that this includes weekends and public holidays), you will need a sick note from your doctor. Currently, this is usually in electronic form, which means that you often do not receive a copy for your employer.  

Please simply let us know by email from when and for how long you have been on sick leave, as well as the date of issue of the sick note. Please also let us know whether you have statutory or private health insurance. We also need to know whether you have received an electronic sick note or one in paper form. If you have received the sick note in paper form, the original is required.

Should you return to work, we kindly ask you to report back independently. All you need to do is send an email or call your secretary personally.

If your address changes, please inform the secretary's office of the chair informally by email. We will arrange for the change to be made.
