- Scientific and student assistants provide academic support services in teaching and research by carrying out auxiliary tasks.
- They support fellow students in their studies through tutorials, for example, or teaching with the preparation of teaching materials, research with data analyses, laboratory work and scientific practice. The tasks may include actively accompanying excursions. In any case, the activities to be assigned must be related to the process of gaining knowledge using scientific methods.
