As professor at TUM, you are not only responsible for research and teaching, but also for tasks such as selecting suitable staff members, supporting junior researchers and leading your team in an efficient manner. You are also responsible for managing resources and creating structures in order to facilitate sustainable research for real social impact. The key challenge is to meet different roles and demands, and at the same time ensure that appropriate boundaries between work and private life exist.
The Faculty@TUM Team of the TUM Institute for LifeLong Learning supports you in mastering your daily leadership and management challenges. We are the exclusive platform for professors at TUM for continuing education and networking, and offer customized events and resources for your diverse challenges. Our offers are made by scientists for scientists: scientifically based and practice-oriented, sustainable and effective.

Inhalte
Zur so genannten „Dienstaufgabe“ von Professorinnen und Professoren zählt unter anderem, für „die Umsetzung des Arbeitsschutzgesetzes […] zu sorgen.“ So wird es im Rahmen des „subsidiären Verantwortungsmodells“ der TUM auch im Berufungsschreiben formuliert. Welche Pflichten damit konkret einhergehen (Stichworte „Beurteilung der Arbeitsbedingungen“, „Unterweisung“ etc.), wie Sie diese zusammen mit Ihrem Team erfüllen können und wie die TUM Sie dabei unterstützt, erfahren Sie in diesem Vortrag. Sie werden in die Lage versetzt, die für Sie relevanten Anforderungen und Unterstützungspotenziale zu identifizieren. An ausgewählten Beispielen – sehr gerne auch aus Ihrem konkreten Arbeitsalltag – wird das Vorgehen mithilfe des AGUM-Informationssystems vorgestellt. Ein Einblick in das Online-Tool zur Erstellung von Gefährdungsbeurteilungen schlägt abschließend die Brücke zu den individuell zu treffenden Arbeitsschutzmaßnahmen der eigenen Organisationseinheit.
Lernziele
- Sie lernen die Anforderungen kennen, die der Bereich Arbeitsschutz als Dienstaufgabe mit sich bringt.
- Sie erhalten Impulse für die Umsetzung dieser Anforderungen im eigenen Verantwortungsbereich.
- Sie können einschätzen, inwiefern Ihre Teammitglieder oder externe Expertinnen und Experten Sie bei der Erfüllung dieser Aufgabe unterstützen können.
