In his second term of office, Prof. Siebert would like to continue his work in the assigned fields of activity. This concerns increasing the scientific visibility and research-related positioning of the University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich in the research landscape. To this end, it is important to optimize the university's internal framework conditions for research, continue to develop its profile, promote excellent research and develop the campus of the future. A central concern for him is the support of young academics and the expansion of research services.
