We thank everyone for supporting and funding the university network and thus allowing universities to assume greater social responsibility in all study programs and research areas. Funding from foundations, public institutions and other partners shows that cooperation is socially and politically desirable.
The funding enables the member universities of the university network to set up coordination centers and to honor the extra work of teachers for the/their cooperation projects with/in civil society. Furthermore, our supporters provide important initial impulses in this field.
Thank you for your support and taking a role in leadership!
