About us
The MVUB is the professional representation for all intermediate staff members at the University of Bern. The MVUB represents, networks and supports you in your scientific and professional interests within and outside the university.
The MVUB represents the intermediate staff of the University of Bern and associated institutions in their scientific and professional interests vis-à-vis university and non-university bodies and authorities.
