- the Faculty Council, the faculty’s highest body for resolutions.
- the Faculty Assembly, which serves to inform all members and affiliates of the faculty and to facilitate the formation of opinions.
- the Conference of Chairs, which facilitates regular dialogue with the deans and other representatives of key faculty bodies.
- in the APL Commission, which decides on the award of honorary professorships.
- on the Ethics Committee, which assesses research projects from an ethical, legal and social perspective.
- in the WiMi Network, which connects academic staff with one another.
