“I am extremely pleased about the vote and would like to thank the YERUN members for placing their trust in me,” said Professor Scholz-Reiter. “Together we are more visible and can stand up for teaching and research on a European level. Moreover, YERUN is allowing us to strengthen the scientific cooperations within Europe.” The Vice President International and Diversity, Professor Eva-Maria Feichtner, emphasized: “The close cooperation between the universities is extremely valuable in terms of supporting our role as young, research-oriented universities in Europe and in the frame of fulfilling our expectations in innovation and effect based on joint activities.” The YERUN president is chosen every two years at the YERUN general assembly.
