University Research Staff (BAP)
• Background:– Increase of external funding for research and creation of a new
research environment– Increase of researchers with consecutive contracts with limited
duration– No career management for these type of researchers in the
past
• Creation of research management careers in “BAP”
• Own finality, but final responsibility remains with ZAP
