The state government is discussing the future development of universities at its cabinet meeting in Zwickau today. Initially, the focus will be on broad outlines, on the basis of which specific target agreements will then be concluded with the individual universities. Following on from this, future funding for the years 2025 to 2032 will also be discussed. Science Minister Sebastian Gemkow (CDU) will present details following the meeting.
