The Austrian National Union of Students (ÖH) cordially invites you to a conference on the current developments and future direction of the higher education strategy. Many different stakeholders are having their say in the ongoing higher education strategy process.
As the students’ official representative body, it is therefore particularly important to us to give greater voice to the students’ perspective and to create a platform for dialogue that focuses on students’ concerns, expectations, and everyday realities.
With this conference, we aim to create a forum where representatives from politics, higher education institutions, advocacy groups, and other relevant sectors can discuss, together with student representatives, the strategic directions needed for a forward-looking, socially just, and sustainable higher education strategy. The discussion will also focus on the role universities play in addressing the major societal challenges of our time—particularly with regard to the climate crisis and the responsibility of universities in research, teaching, and institutional action.
As students, you play a key role in bringing our diverse perspectives to the table. We are delighted that Minister of Science Eva-Maria Holzleitner has already confirmed her participation and will also contribute to the discussion during the conference.
