Universities want more money

161
Universities in Austria need money urgently. They want 18 billion Euro from the state. This money is for the years 2028 to 2030. The government plans with less money. The universities miss 2,5 billion Euro.

Brigitte Hütter leads the university conference. She says: Research suffers without this money. There are fewer jobs for young researchers. People might lose their jobs. Minister Eva-Maria Holzleitner wants to solve the problem in autumn.

The minister suggests new rules. Universities and technical colleges should work better together. The universities like these ideas. But they say: New rules do not bring money.

Money for studies is also a topic. Students from the EU pay no money. Students from outside the EU might pay more. Experts check this plan now. The universities also want less paperwork and less bureaucracy.

There are more talks in autumn. Then the government decides about the budget. The universities hope for a good solution.
