By
ORF.at
Summary
Austrian Science Minister Eva-Maria Holzleitner (SPÖ) has announced plans to introduce "science regions" and part-time study options as part of the University Strategy 2040. The proposal includes eliminating duplicate parallel programs at the same location under a "one location, one degree" principle, and removing the chain contract regulation for academic staff. Holzleitner emphasized the need for unified science governance and cooperation over competition between institutions. However, specific details and budget information remain undisclosed. The Austrian Student Union (ÖH) welcomed the plans, while the Green Party criticized them as a distraction maneuver.
