Centre Development and Scientific Controlling
The staff unit Centre Development and Scientific Controlling (ZENCO) supports the executive management board of the UFZ with information processing, in the preparation stages of decision-making processes and with advice in centre planning and control (scientific controlling). Doing so, the staff unit ensures that all scientific management operations run smoothly. This enables the UFZ to successfully carry out its role as a centre of competence for integrative environmental research and system solutions.
The tasks of ZENCO include among other things facilitating und maintaining scientific cooperation with universities and strategic partnerships, strategic personnel planning in the field of R&D and supporting the management board in the initiation of strategic projects and initiative as well as during the continued development of the UFZ organisational structure considering the UFZ environmental management strategy. Furthermore, the staff unit supports the executive management in the development of the centre’s organizational structure and coordinates the compilation of the documents for the Scientific Advisory Board and the Supervisory Board.
A central scope of ZENCO´s duties is to work in close collaboration with the Helmholtz Association. In this context the staff unit coordinates and supports programme-oriented funding (POF) activities of the UFZ in the Helmholtz research field "Earth and Environment", Helmholtz large investments and Helmholtz committees and networks such as the Working Group Forum Sustainability. Such activities include the cooperation with national science organisations, ministries and other authorities.
