institutions can improve the
quality of research and
instruction and address the
challenges of the future with
strong partners.
so that more people can cross
borders and achieve success in
study and research.
so that German remains an
important language of culture
and scholarship.
so that higher education
institutions may contribute to
development and build bridges
to surmount conflicts.
Offer expertise for academic
collaboration
so that academic and political leaders
are able to make well-informed policy
decisions.

What is a Strategy?
“Strategy is the use of the engagement for the purpose of
the war. The strategist must therefore define an aim for
the entire operational side of the war that will be in
accordance with its purpose. . . . The aim will determine
the series of actions intended to achieve it.“
Carl von Clausewitz, On War, III. 1.
(Howard / Paret translation, Princeton UP 1976, p. 177)

The coalition agreement (November 2013)
Similar objectives:
