Thank you very much for watching the Science Evening discussions on YouTube, and for contributing numerous questions and comments – we have now reached an incredible 27,000 views!
The impression is that universities (not only) in Germany have a great need to reinvent their teaching offerings, their structures, their vision, and their role in society to some extent and to exchange ideas about this. Further discussion formats will therefore follow on from The Science Evening.
In addition, we have asked some of the participants from the Science Evening as well as other experts from the higher education landscape to answer a selection of the questions that the discussion has raised so far – initially about the future of university teaching.
The following representatives and observers of the science system have answered a selection of your questions:
