The Scientific Council meets at least once a month upon the proposal of its Rector. The Rector may call additional meetings if necessary, upon written request by a third of members, or at the request of the university director. A meeting is valid only if at least two-thirds of the members attend.
Article 31
Decisions of the Scientific Council require an absolute majority of the votes of members present. If votes are equal, the Rector may advance the proposal unless the university director rejects it within fifteen days. If no response is received, the matter is referred back for further consideration. Final decisions are then submitted to the University Council for approval, amendment, or cancellation.
The Secretariat of the Scientific Council is responsible for preparing and scheduling meetings, coordinating candidates, and following up on recruitment matters.
