The first newly elected spokespersons in the specialist and organ-specific working groups (FOSA) of the Network of University Medicine (NUM) have been appointed. Due to extended nomination phases and election processes, the remaining results of the outstanding FOSA will be communicated within the next few weeks if they are successfully completed.
The FOSA are used for internal and interdisciplinary dialogue and have important functions within the network. The speakers are also part of the advisory board, which meets regularly and supports the further development of the NUM at an interdisciplinary level. The FOSA elections are coordinated and supported by the Interaction Core Unit of the NUM infrastructure project NUKLEUS.
The NUM would like to thank the outgoing spokespersons for their commitment and dedication, as well as the local staff units in the respective NUM locations, who actively participated and helped throughout the entire election process.
