Heads of university research institutes and UAB research centres

The directors of university research institutes and UAB research centres are responsible for the general management and running of the centre they represent.
Their mandates are for three years and they can only be re-elected once. In accordance with the internal regulations, they are elected by the Institute Council or Centre Council from among the academic staff holding a doctoral degree, and are appointed by the rector. A management team, including a secretary, assists each director.

The main responsibilities of the university research institutes and UAB research centres are:

  • representing the institute or centre;
  • managing, coordinating and supervising the activities organised by the centre or institute;
  • summoning and presiding the Institute or Centre's Council and implementing the decisions made by the Council;
  • presenting the annual report on activities to the Council;
  • administrating the budget allocations;
  • managing the services at the Institute or Centre and ensuring they have sufficient resources;
  • supervising the tasks assigned to the administration and services staff;
  • proposing, to the rector, that members of the team be relieved of their responsibilities and proposing new members;
  • ensuring the regulations applicable to the Institute or Centre are respected;
  • ensuring that members of the Institute or Centre fulfil their duties.
