DIUC: PROBLEMS ACTUATIONS
• Lack of a suitable structure of the DIUC.
• Lack of a suitable number of administrative and financial personnel.
![Page 16: Diuc munich cue_081111_b](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062514/558cfb13d8b42a206f8b4765/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
08 November 2011 Present and Future of the DIUC 16
For every single purchase or payment process, I have to sign up about 5 copies
• Excessive administrative load for the Director of the DIU and Research Council, which does not enable to the DIUC to focus on more fundamental research tasks/activities
For every time that a principal researcher does not register his/her physical presence at the university, I have to sign up a justification for HR office.
DIUC: PROBLEMS ACTUATIONS
Regularising > 150 contractual situations with researchers since June 2010

• Lack of scientific knowledge: PhD?; journals?; impact factor?; proposal formulation; scientific writing; .......
DIUC: PROBLEMS ACTUATIONS
Basic courses are to be taught to researchers/lecturers with very limited knowledge of basic scientific concepts.
Specialised courses are to be designed on the basis of particular requirements from ongoing projects and active research Groups the VLIR project has already adopted this view of the DIUC and is organising a course at the moment.

08 November 2011 Present and Future of the DIUC 35
• The UC has worked systematically on the transformation from a lecture-based university to towards a research-based one
CONCLUSIONS
• However, there is still much to be done, particularly to fulfil the LOES
• In this respect, the DIUC has achieved important advancements but still lacks a significant improvement dealing particularly with re-structuring it and achieving connection with “Postgrados” and with the faculties
• Thus, we are very much interested in what this project could help us with (in this regard)
