The University management is distributed among various divisions that address administrative and academic demands and responsibilities. Administrative issues are organized by the Rector’s Office, Boards of Directors and other sectors responsible for process referrals, resource management, structure maintenance, people management, internationalization and assistance of the entire institution. In academic terms, the Boards of Academic Units are responsible for managing their administrative issues as well as their own teaching, research and extension activities. The overall coordination of the entire process is made by the Rector’s Office, together with the University Council (CUNI), the Teaching, Research and Extension Council (CEPE), and the Board of Curators. The latter promotes the dialogue between the two Councils and enables institutional planning with a view to meeting existing demands and seeking constant development.
