New Minister Holzleitner: Focus on reforms for universities!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - Eva-Maria Holzleitner has accepted her new post as Minister of Science, and the Austrian University of Applied Sciences (FHK) is enthusiastic about this appointment. FHK President Ulrike Prommer emphasizes that you can see a valuable partner in Holzleitner to shape the framework conditions for Austrian universities. The planned measures for the sustainable financing of the universities of applied sciences (FH) and universities for applied sciences (HAW) are particularly important, which will now also include the research area. This is done as part of the government program, which is to be implemented quickly, such as ots.at

Another focus is on the further development of the autonomy of the FH/HAW and the creation of a doctoral model. Kurt Koleznik, General Secretary of the FHK, is optimistic that, together with Holzleitner, important steps to develop the potential of the FH/HAW can be taken for Austria. This positive mood is also strengthened by the prospect of a new development and financing plan for 2026-2030, which for the first time takes into account research, as it mentioned ooe.orf.at . This is associated with a clear message: Austria focuses on a future-oriented educational and research strategy.
