Description

This funding initiative from the Volkswagen Foundation empowers German universities, in collaboration with relevant ministries, to establish "strategic experimental spaces" that allow for the temporary suspension of restrictive legal or bureaucratic regulations. The aim is to foster institutional flexibility, enable innovative forms of cross-border or cross-institutional cooperation, and test new approaches to university development. Successful projects are intended to serve as models for broader adoption across Germany, enhancing the structural conditions for pioneering academic research.
