welcome to hamburg

In my capacity as the President of the University of Hamburg I have the great pleasure of

extending a particularly warm welcome to you. We feel highly honoured by your presence at

the EUA SPRING CONFERENCE 2006 in Hamburg.

Hamburg, a bustling cosmopolitan port city traditionally committed to liberal mindedness,

tolerance and international cooperation is known as a “gateway to the world”. In the framework

of this tradition the University of Hamburg sees itself as a “gateway to the world of know-

ledge”.

During the development of the European Higher Education Area we as European Universi-

ties are facing new challenges and opportunities to intensify our cooperation with all our

public and private partners committed to support the commonly shared aims of this – finally –

one world of Education, Knowledge and Science.

I particularly welcome the commitment of EUA to involve its members and our partners in

the important discussion which started in Uppsala and is now to be continued during our

conference in Hamburg, conveying the message that a strong Europe needs strong and creative

universities as key players in shaping the European knowledge society.

Dear guests from near and far, I hope that you will enjoy your stay in Hamburg and that our

discussions will result in a significant European contribution to the international world

of knowledge.

Dear Colleagues,

Dr. Dr. h.c. Jürgen Lüthje

President, University of Hamburg

EUA Spring Conference 2006 & General Assembly Hamburg, Germany, 30 March – 1 April


introduction to the conference theme programme overview

Following the mandate given by its members at the 3rd Convention of European Higher EducationInstitutions held in Glasgow in April 2005, EUA has launched a broad debate on the crucial issueof the financing of higher education in Europe.

THE GLASGOW DECLARATION underlines that adequate and

sustainable funding is a prerequisite for securing universities’

future and with it, their capacity for promoting cultural, social

and technological innovation. Europe cannot hope to compete

with education and research systems in other parts of the world if

higher education and research budgets are not viewed as an

investment in the future, and urgently increased, bearing in mind

that the EU spends only 1.2% of GDP on universities, whereas

the figure is 2.7 % in the US and 2.6 % in Canada as well as in

South Korea. At the institutional level, the Declaration continues,

universities are committed to improving their governance structures

and leadership competence so as to increase their efficiency and

innovative capacity.

FOR UNIVERSITIES, this means working towards a diversifica-

tion of funding sources and models which in turn implies reviewing

institutional strategies on the one hand, and governance and ma-

nagement systems on the other hand.

THERE SEEMS TO BE a growing consensus that, while the state

must continue to maintain and indeed increase funding, the evident

need for additional investment will also necessitate drawing upon

a variety of private sources of funding to cover the costs of higher

education. The challenge of the coming years will be to find ways

forward that ensure an equitable mix and balance between public

and private sources.

IN PLENARY SESSIONS, work groups and round tables, the

Conference will address the multiple aspects of innovating uni-

versity funding, mainly:

• The impact of tuition fees on access and the need for

student aid schemes;

• The diversification of funding sources and generation

of sustainable revenue streams;

• The institutional requirements for transparency,

accountability and good governance for managing

increasingly diverse funding sources;

• The role of private sector investment and the changing

patterns in University-State relationship.

THE CONFERENCE will aim at producing:

Insight in diverse models of innovative institutional funding;

• Orientation on good practice existing across Europe;

• Vision and practice in terms of governance models and

management systems necessary to develop and sustain a

more diversified institutional funding base.

which are beautifully reflected in the canals they border. This whole ensemble is linked to the HafenCity.Today, as in bygone days,

wares from the world over – coffee, tea, cocoa, spices, tobacco, computers and Oriental rugs – are stacked in these storerooms.

TOUR OF LÜBECK, SUNDAY, 02 APRIL (09.00 – 14.30)

Lübeck, Queen of the Hanseatic League, was founded in 1143 as the first “western city on the Baltic coast”. The medieval atmosphere

and historically important cultural sights shape the face of the city and testify to Lübeck’s great past as a Free Imperial and

Hanseatic City. The picturesque oval Old Town, surrounded by water, contains some of Germany’s most important brick Gothic

buildings. The spires of the seven churches have dominated the city skyline ever since the Middle Ages. The Holsten Gate, the

former western gate in the city walls, is known throughout the world and is now the symbol of the city. The Buddenbrookhaus,

home of the grandparents of writers Heinrich and Thomas Mann, is one of many stately merchant houses in the city. Lübeck was

the first old town in the Federal Republic of Germany to be officially designated a cultural heritage site.

The tour includes a guided city walk with lunch and a visit to the Café Niederegger where you are highly recommended to enjoy

the world-famous delicacy “Niederegger Marzipan”, one of the trademarks of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. The tour bus will leave

citizens and guests of the city of Hamburg. The Kunsthalle is divided into four different sections: the Gallery of Old Masters

(Master Bertram, Master Francke, the Dutch painters); the Gallery of 19th Century Art (C. D. Friedrich, Ph. O. Runge, Menzel);

the Gallery of Classical Modernism (Munch, Kirchner, Klee, Beckmann, Lehmbruck) – and the Gallery of Contemporary Art.

the university of hamburg


the city of hamburg

THE “FREIE UND HANSESTADT HAMBURG” with its population of 1,8 million and its metropolitan region with 3,5 million people

is situated between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The Lake Alster, together with the Elbe river and the numerous canals and parks

adjoining them have given Hamburg the fine image of a “green” metropolis at the water`s edge. A total of 2321 bridges cross these canals.

THE CITY BEGAN to rise as a trading power in the 12th century. During the Middle Ages Hamburg became one of the leading

cities of the Hanse. The Hamburg harbour with its huge overseas ships is the second largest sea-harbour in Europe and ranks seventh in

the world. Today Hamburg is also a leading centre of media and sports: in 2006 Hamburg will be one of the German cities hosting the

FIFA Worldcup.

HAMBURG IS ONE of the most culturally multifaceted cities in Germany. Besides 50 museums a wide range of theatres, concert halls,

music halls and cabaret venues attract audiences with a colourful range of cultural events. Hamburg is known to be one of Europe`s

capitals for musicals. The cosmopolitan character of Hamburg is best shown in the number of foreign consulates. With more than 90

consulates Hamburg ranks second only to New York as the city with the highest number of consulates in the world.

THE UNIVERSITY OF HAMBURG is an institution of the “Freie

und Hansestadt Hamburg”. Germany`s second biggest metropolis

is a bustling, cosmopolitan port city traditionally committed to

liberal-mindedness, tolerance and international cooperation.

Within the framework of this tradition, internationality was

established as one of the University`s leading aims. Corresponding

to Hamburg`s view of itself as a “gateway to the world”, the Uni-

versity with its diversity of subjects and educational possibilities,

sees itself as a “gateway to the world of knowledge”.

MORE THAN 100 DEGREE COURSES are offered in the

Faculties: Law, Economic and Social Sciences, Medicine, Educa-

tion, Psychology and Human Movement, Humanities and Cultu-

ral Sciences, Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences. The

University has 38,700 students and 851 professors engaged in

teaching and research, as well as an additional academic full-time

staff numbering over 2780 and about 1000 part-time academic

instructors.

AS THE LEADING EXCELLENCE CENTRE in Northern

Germany it has close links to outstanding partners not only in the

region but also throughout the world. More than 200 cooperation

agreements with European universities guarantee a lively exchange

in the context of the Socrates/Erasmus-program. Within the

framework of the Bologna Process the University is currently

developing a number of international degree programmes based

on innovative concepts of multilateral cooperation in education

and research.

BESIDES ITS NUMEROUS EUROPEAN RELATIONS inclu-

ding traditionally intensive links to its East European Partners the

University maintains a growing number of worldwide partnerships

to universities such as in Asia, the USA, Latin America and Africa.

The Center of Asian and African Studies at the University of

Hamburg is the largest one in Germany. The University offers

excellent training in more than 120 languages with a special profile

in non-European language and culture studies. It follows that the

University`s students can acquire a unique intercultural compe-

tence as well as an interdisciplinary oriented education and

research experience.

THE UNIVERSITY ENJOYS an exceptional reputation in a range

of highly competitive and promising areas of focus, such as Earth

Systems Research where the Centre of Marine and Atmospheric

Sciences (ZMAW) achieved worldwide recognition. Further

strengths at the University of Hamburg are research on the Struc-

ture and Properties of Materials, the Life Sciences, International

and European Law, Multilingualism and Language Acquisition, as

well as Educational Sciences, Interdisciplinary Peace Research

and Security Policy, Communication and Information Sciences

and the field of Globalisation and Transnational Developments.
