To Teach and Research at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam

The University of Applied Sciences Potsdam welcomes International guests for a teaching or research stays! We are happy that we are able to integrate guest researchers into teaching to enrich academic life.

Invitations of visiting researchers without compensation (also scholarship holders)

In order to simplify the organisational processes associated with a guest stay at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, we have developed the necessary forms in two languages in consultation with the Human Resources Department, the Student Info Service and the IT department. The proposed procedure applies to all guest researchers or doctoral students from other institutions who do not enter into an employment relationship with the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. At the same time, it makes it easier for us to register this group of people. Please proceed internally as follows.

 

1. Invite a visiting scholar and conclude a contract

Issue an invitation. If the response is positive, a contract for a guest stay can be drawn up. Have the two-language version of the contract filled out and signed by the head of the inviting department (dean, head of department/institute).

2. Send the contract and Campus.Card application to the visiting researcher

Send the one-sided signed contract and the application for the Campus.Card to the visiting scholar* for completion and signature. Please also ask for a digital photo to be sent to you.

3. Send contract, Campus.Card application & photo to Human Resources Department.

Then send the contract signed on both sides, the completed application for the Campus.Card and the digital photo to the Human Resources Department personal@fh-potsdam.de. The contact person is Annette Dubiel.

4. Assign a personnel number, forward the application for a Campus.Card & photo to the Student Info Service.

The Human Resources Department enters the visiting scholar in the SVA, assigns a staff number, enters the personnel number on the application for a Campus.Card and sends the application and photo to the Student Info Service campuskarte@fh-potsdam.de. The contract, signed by both parties, remains in the Human Resources Office.

6. Issue Campus.Card

The Student Info Service produces the Campus.Card. This can be collected in person or forwarded to the inviting department for delivery by internal post. The contact person is Sabine Colditz.

5. Send information on the activation of the Campus.Card to the building management.

Please send an email to gm-service@fh-potsdam.de with information on which rooms and functions (e.g. copying at departmental expense) the Campus.Card should be activated for the visiting scholar. As a rule, visiting scholars do not receive a library card, but they can easily apply for a user card in the library.
