200 days of Heinz Faßmann - a record of empty words - Faßmann risks the future of Austria as a business location through a lack of planning

The Ministry of Science's development and funding plan for Austrian universities of applied sciences expires at the end of the 2018 summer semester - i.e. at the end of this week. To date, Minister Faßmann has not been able to present even a draft of a successor regulation. There has never been such unprofessionalism in the entire history of universities of applied sciences in Austria.

Against this backdrop, the Austrian University of Applied Sciences Conference unanimously decided last Friday in the Executive Board - which is made up of all 21 universities of applied sciences - to go public. For this reason, the FHK is holding a press conference on Wednesday, 27 June 2018.

Representatives of the media are cordially invited to attend.
