We propose a model (see attached, in German) for our goal of permanent employment for scientists who raise their own funding. The individual risk would be insured by TU Wien. With our model, a comparatively large number of permanent positions can be created at TU Wien for a modest expense.

Reason
Paragraph 109 UG (University Law) updated in 2021 enforces a change of institution (often abroad) or an end to the scientific career if there is no permanent employment. Several hundred scientists of all ages are affected by this at TU Wien. In particular, there are also scientists affected who successfully acquire third-party funding for themselves and PhD positions. These scientists are professionally established, have research experience, and are well-networked. Their leaving would seriously damage TU Wien and affect its attractiveness as an employer.

Nevertheless, we are still waiting for the follow-up appointment, that we had agreed upon. The Rectorate told us at the time that they wanted to calculate and evaluate our proposal for a career model that would aim to provide many of us with permanent employment.
We therefore have the feeling that the importance and urgency of the 8-year fixed term limit of §109 UG, which already directly affects several of us, has not yet reached the Rectorate. However, end of April TU Wien has to deliver the proposal for the performance agreement for... further
