Faculty Board

The Dean, who is responsible for issues in research and teaching, is a member of the Board of Directors and simultaneously the head of the Faculty Board.

The Faculty Board represents the medical faculty of Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin in all internal and external academic matters and is in charge of setting the scientific orientation and focus. Responsibilities include strategic planning and implementation as well as the continuous evaluation of the productivity and quality of research and teaching at Charité.

The Faculty Board proposes this fiscal plan and, upon confirmation by the Supervisory Board, carries out its implementation. Included are the management of consumable materials and the concrete allocation of funds for research and teaching.
