Science and Teaching

Teaching

Presence lectures will no longer be held until 20th of April. The work on digital courses should be continued. This work should also be done from home as far as possible.

Research

Please organize your research work at the university in such a way that no presence on campus or other room of the TUK is necessary.
Important research infrastructures must be guaranteed. Critical research activities will be implemented as far as possible. These include activities that are difficult to reorganize in the long term or whose interruption would lead to the loss of essential, sensitive data and materials. In addition, particularly complex scientific studies should not be affected as far as possible.
Compliance with safety regulations (especially in the areas of radiation protection, genetic engineering, occupational safety) must be ensured.
The heads of the working groups should ensure that only those employees are present on the premises who are absolutely necessary for this minimum operation.

Clarify cases of doubt with the responsible dean. The departments and other research institutions are also requested to plan for even more extensive emergency operation, which could become necessary, for example, in the event of an imposed curfew, and in which only persons with the explicit permission of the President may enter the university buildings.
