BIGSAS Management / Head of BIGSAS

The overall management of BIGSAS is the responsibility of the Head of BIGSAS. According to the Regulations of the Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence, the Vice Dean of the Early Career and Equal Opportunity portfolio (EC&EO) automatically becomes Head of BIGSAS for the term for which she or he was elected. The current Head of BIGSAS is therefore Prof. Dr Susanne Mühleisen. In her role, she ensures that all the provisions, rules and requirements of the BIGSAS Regulations and Study Regulation are complied with. With regard to matters that are urgent and cannot be postponed, the Head of BIGSAS is also authorised to make decisions on behalf of the Steering Committee (SC). The Head of BIGSAS is assisted by the Deputy Head who supports the Head of BIGSAS in her or his duties, as well as administratively by the Coordinator of BIGSAS. The supporting Deputy Head is elected amongst the four representatives of the Members of BIGSAS who are part of the SC. The current Deputy Head of BIGSAS is Prof. Dr Alexander Stroh-Steckelberg.
