In the University Development 2030 initiative, we defined our general objectives as well as strategic goals and principles for the four performance dimensions and four cross-cutting topics of holistic e-development in a participatory process. This process was completed at the end of 2022. With the University Development Concept, we want to both show the direction for our development and provide orientation for all members of our university.
The 2nd version of our university development concept has been available since August 2024.
As a university, we recognise our responsibility to help shape social transformation and create scientific progress for the benefit of its development. With our university, we are part of a regional scientific ecosystem that is internationally anchored and visible through strong partnerships.
The objectives defined in the University Development Concept 2030 are based on the cross-cutting topics listed, which are of pioneering strategic importance for our development. The further development within each cross-cutting topic is therefore also an indicator of our success. We use a dynamic, circular process to realise our objectives, which involves constantly adjusting our objectives in annual faculty meetings, among other things.
We want to be an attractive university for a new generation of academics, staff and students who look beyond the boundaries of traditional disciplines. To this end, we focus on targeted student marketing and ensuring that employees find us an attractive employer. Our focus on diversity is an important part of this.
In order to remain competitive in the future, we will continue to network with strong institutional partner organisations at regional and international level. We will continue to develop and expand our scientific ecosystem in the Braunschweig region. In order to consolidate and promote our excellent research areas, we will focus on intensifying interdisciplinary projects and systematically expanding our research infrastructures.
