Appreciation of peer-to-peer strategy consulting
Certificate Presentation Ceremony by the Federal Minister of Education in Berlin
One year ago, the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (HSZG)—under the leadership of the Vice President for Education and International Affairs, Professor Keil—was selected, along with four other universities, to participate in a peer-to-peer strategy consultation on digitization in academic studies and teaching. During this time, experts from the Higher Education Forum on Digitalization supported the HSZG in its strategic exploration of digital teaching and learning.
This peer-to-peer format focused on the key areas of the digital workplace, as well as educational equity, access, and openness. Together with the HSZG, the experts developed recommendations for the further advancement of digitization, with a specific focus on academic studies and teaching, thereby making an important contribution to the future development of the University of Zittau/Görlitz. The peer-to-peer consultation thus represents another step in the University for Future process, and the results will be utilized in HSZG’s strategic processes.
To recognize the HSZG’s commitment, a ceremonial certificate presentation by Federal Minister of Education Anja Karliczek took place on November 3, 2021, during the University:Future Festival on the EUREF Campus in Berlin-Schöneberg. The HSZG was represented at the event by the Rector, who highlighted the special role our students play in the ongoing strategic process and praised their collaboration with their peers.
“As president, I am particularly proud that so many of our students have been involved in their university’s strategic processes from the very beginning. This makes it all the more important to involve external advisors to ensure the best possible outcome,” emphasized President Alexander Kratzsch.

The university management would like to take this opportunity to thank all those at the HSZG who have accompanied and supported the process.
