LOM Points
To document performance and prepare the knowledge balance sheet in the field of research, MedUni Vienna uses the so-called LOM points (Leistungs-Orientierte-Mittelvergabe - Performance-Oriented Allocation of Resources). The research performance criteria (LOM Research Points) include publications, presentations, visiting researchers/incomings, positions on scientific and university committees, editorial functions in scientific journals, and outgoings.
The significant increase in LOM Research Points in recent years is primarily attributable to the continuous growth in scientific publication output and the associated impact factors. In addition, the successful acquisition of competitive third-party funding (grants), increased activities in the area of community service, and growing research and innovation activities—particularly in the field of patents—have made a substantial contribution to this positive development.
The teaching performance criteria (LOM Teaching Points) at the department include supervised and completed diploma theses and doctoral dissertations, seminars and lectures held, as well as the organization and supervision of KPJ students.
The Department of Neurosurgery places particular emphasis on supporting students at MedUni Vienna in their academic progress and on continuously expanding its teaching activities. The intensification of teaching activities, particularly through an increased teaching workload, comprehensive supervision of KPJ students, and the continuous supervision of diploma theses and doctoral dissertations, is reflected in the positive development of the LOM Teaching Points.
