Strategic Directions for the Coming Years: First Town Hall Meeting on 2 December
Das Town-Hall-Meeting findet in der Aula im Ostflügel des Schlosses statt – aber auch online via Zoom.
The Town Hall Meeting will focus on two key topics:
- our research strategy with regard to future third-party funding competitions such as the Excellence Strategy, particularly the strengthening of collaborative research, and
- the future framework conditions, especially under the higher education funding agreement III, which will take effect on 1 January 2026.
Following an introduction, Vice President Professor Jutta Mata will elaborate on specific measures within the research strategy, and Executive Vice President Dr. Katrin Schoppa-Bauer will address the future framework conditions. After that, we would like to enter into dialog with you. The event is scheduled for one hour and will be held in German. After the approximately 30-minute presentation, the second half will be dedicated to your questions and comments.
We hope many of you will take this opportunity to join the conversation and help shape the future of our university together. After all, it is only through our joint efforts that we can continue to ensure the University of Mannheim’s long-term success.
