Christian Facchi (back row, 4th from right), Research Professor for Embedded and Networked Systems at Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences and Director of the Joint Academic Partnership Mobility & Transport, continues to represent the universities of applied sciences on the Science and Humanities Council.
At its spring meeting, the Council adopted an evaluation of the Higher Education Pact, among other things. The German Council of Science and Humanities warmly welcomed the federal and state funding programme, which runs from 2007 to 2020, and described it as a largely successful measure.
The German Science and Humanities Council is one of the most important science policy advisory bodies in Germany. It advises the Federal Government and the state governments on issues relating to the content and structural development of the research and science system in order to develop it sustainably and make it internationally competitive. The Council consists of representatives from science and practice who are appointed by the Federal Government and the state governments.
