The best thing we can do
is being motivated to shape a common future
From the right and good universities
The FHV soon went its own way in this search for orientation. In addition to the development of the study programs, three ultimately very well-evaluated research centres were founded on the basis of a targeted increase in personnel.
The result is a forward-looking and future-oriented Code of Ethics, a catalog of values that is still highly topical in the university and higher education landscape today. It deals with...
- the principles of good scientific practice,
- the culture of organizational cooperation,
- our responsibility and our basic understanding towards the country and society
Importance today...
