Universität Hamburg Guidelines on the Acceptance of Benefits, Rewards, and Gifts
On 29 October 2019, the Senate of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg ratified the revised public notice on the prohibition of the acceptance of rewards and gifts and permissible exceptions (Neufassung der Bekanntmachung über das Verbot und die ausnahmsweise zulässige Annahme von Belohnungen und Geschenken) (see also Other references).
These guidelines are implemented with the Universität Hamburg Guidelines on the Acceptance of Benefits, Rewards and Gifts (PDF) for all current and former Universität Hamburg staff from the 30 October 2020.
Current and former staff members must familiarize themselves with these provisions and follow them accordingly.
Staff with leadership duties must also implement appropriate leadership measures and control systems to ensure these provisions are implemented and applied.
Staff will continue to receive these guidelines annually; however, they are now required to confirm receipt of these guidelines electronically.
