Zur Reform der staatlichen Anerkennung und der institutionellen Akkreditierung privater Hochschulen – On the Reform of State Recognition and institutional Accreditation of private higher Education Institutions

It would be desirable to institutionalize a dialogue with universities aimed at optimizing their skills in research and teaching.
