Two New Vice-Rectors Elected
Media releases, information for representatives of the media Media Relations (E) The Executive Council of the Canton of Bern has elected two new Vice-Rectors to serve in the Executive Board of the University of Bern. Daniel Candinas is taking over the Vice-Rectorate Research from Christian Leumann, who for his part will become the University of Bern Rector in early August. Achim Conzelmann, who is taking over the Vice-Rectorate De-velopment, was elected as the second new Vice-Rector. The Executive Council of the Canton of Bern has elected two new Vice-Rectors of the University of Bern and thus confirmed the candidates proposed by the Senate. The first election occurred due to a change in the Rectorate: current Rector Martin Täuber is to resign as of 31 July 2016 due to age and is handing over the office to his designated successor Christian Leumann. Since Leumann is acting Vice-Rector Research, the management of his Vice-Rectorate had to be re-staffed. Physician Daniel Candinas will be the new Vice-Rector Research.
