Within the framework of the introduction of the Bavarian Higher Education Innovation Act (BayHIG), doctoral candidates who are sufficiently active in research were granted the right to vote and stand for election in the group of academic staff, employees and doctoral candidates in university elections.
The basic prerequisite for the faculty to be able to confirm the sufficient scope of scientific activity is that a degree in a doctoral subject or a related subject has been completed before the doctorate and that the doctoral students have concluded a supervision agreement with the University of Regensburg.

In order to check the prerequisite, it is necessary that doctoral candidates who do not already belong to the above-mentioned group due to their work as research assistants register with their RZ-account using the form in Lucom. The examination will be carried out by the faculty.
Please note that the last date for submitting an application to check the requirement is 14.4.2025.
