The Postdoctoral Lecture Qualification proves the ability to independently represent a scientific subject in the areas of research and teaching. The subject regarding the Habilitation is a scientific discipline with definable content. It is usually already set up in the department and is represented through at least one Professor or one other habilitated member of the department. Subjects regarding the Habilitation can also be concluded through the extended office counsel (with proportion of constitutional order). The conclusion can result on the occasion of a Habilitation process.
