What we stand for

Mission
Statement

We are committed to a versatile higher education and research system that offers optimal and differentiated opportunities for development under changing conditions to all who want to participate in and benefit from it. We focus on three areas in particular.

Utilising and shaping autonomy

In order for universities to fully exploit their opportunities in a competitive national and international context, they must be allowed to cultivate and use their capacity for analysis, decision-making and action at various levels. The legal and regulatory framework set by the state must be designed in such a way that universities can act autonomously and in the broad interests of society.

Designing and creating diversified profiles

Academic and research organizations, in light of their constantly evolving societal role, are faced with the challenge of developing individual and differentiated profiles that can aid in the performance of their tasks. The evaluation of performance and the quality of institutions must also be individualized for better results.

Assuming social responsibility

Academic and research organisations, ministries, as well as parliaments must anticipate societal demands and developments in good time, propose adequate solutions to them and implement policies in good time. All actors are united in their responsibility to identify legitimate social and individual interests, to reflect them in a continuously and flexibly developing academic and research system, and to ensure that the results visible.

Utilising and shaping autonomy

In order for universities to make the most of the opportunities offered by an environment of national and international competition, they should actively develop and cultivate the ability to analyze, make decisions and act at various levels. The framework conditions set by the state should be designed in such a way that universities can act independently and in the spirit of individual responsibility as far as possible.

Establishing and making use of
diversified profiles

The role of the higher education system in society is a diverse and constantly evolving one. Universities face the challenge of assuming responsibility for certain goals and services through individual and differentiated profiles, as well as developing and maintaining a distinctive identity. The criteria by which the performance and qualities of universities are assessed should accordingly be as heterogeneous as they are clear.

Assuming social
responsibility

Universities, ministries and parliaments need to anticipate the needs of society in good time and pay adequate attention to them. The various actors are linked by the responsibility to identify legitimate social and individual interests, to implement them again and again in a continuously and flexibly evolving higher education system, and to make the successes visible.
