HRK, DSW and fzs call on all university members to participate in the Bundestag elections

The German Rectors' Conference (HRK), the German National Association of Students (DSW) and the German National Association of Students (fzs) welcome the package of demands made by the science ministers of the federal states to the future federal government. Increased cooperation between the federal and state governments and a greater financial commitment from the federal government in the new legislature are indispensable for the promotion of science, universities and social study infrastructures.

The position paper of the Conference of Science Ministers underlines the central demands of the HRK, DSW and fzs for a future-proof German higher education system, better study conditions and greater educational equality. Education and research policy must play a key role in the actions of the new federal government - also in order to secure economic prosperity, social cohesion and liberal democracy. The parties currently in the election campaign with aspirations and prospects of government responsibility are setting different priorities here.

The HRK, DSW and fzs are jointly calling on all university members - employees in research, teaching education, technology and administration as well as students - to exercise their right to vote on February 23.
