As a first step towards the opening of the habilitation procedure, the candidate asks the Colloquium Officer, Professor Derenthal, for an appointment for an introductory lecture in the Mathematical-Physical Colloquium or in the Professorium of our Faculty.

All further steps of the habilitation procedure are set out in the Habilitation Regulations and will be discussed with the candidate after their introductory lecture.

The habilitation serves to document the particular ability to conduct high-level independent scientific research and teaching. With the habilitation, the scientist is authorized to teach independently in a specific scientific subject or subject area at Leibniz Universität Hannover (Authorization to teach/Venia Legendi).
