The "Berufungsportal" (academic appointments portal) at Technische Universität Dortmund (TU Dortmund) is a service and information platform that gives applicants an insight into the appointment system used at TU Dortmund. The portal also provides a wealth of information and resources for everyone involved in the appointment process. The academic appointment process at TU Dortmund follows a defined model. This process is explained in 17 steps from the decision to commence an appointment process to the final appointment of the chosen candidate. For each phase, detailed information is given about the requirements, necessary actions and relevant contacts. One page on the portal summarises the legal framework and contains a list of links to relevant legislation as well as the appointment regulations and the university's appointment guidelines. To raise awareness among appointments committee members there are other pages covering various aspects of gender equality in the appointment process, such as gender bias and homosocial co-optation.
