The Challenge of Europe and the Role of the Universities
The 20th meeting of the Humboldt University Foundation will address the question of the contribution universities can and should make to enable Europe to emerge from its crisis and to become more future-oriented.
The 20th meeting of the Humboldt University Foundation is a special event since the foundation celebrates its 10th founding year. Therefore it will address the question of the contribution universities can and should make to enable Europe to emerge from its crisis and to become more future-oriented. In addition to central research challenges, the focus is also on the role of private science funding in times of increasingly limited public financing.
