Consulting agreement

A consulting agreement governs consulting services provided by a member of the university to third parties. This is generally done on a private basis without using university infrastructure and personnel. Such secondary employments must be compatible with the respective university's regulations.
 

No research work at the university may be carried out under a consulting agreement. Research work at the university must be arranged either through a research cooperation or a service contract. It should also be noted that inventions in a researcher's field of work belong to the university and cannot be transferred to a company under a private consulting agreement.
