Founded in 1737, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen is a research university of international renown with strong focuses in research-led teaching. The University is distinguished by the rich diversity of its subject spectrum particularly in the humanities, its excellent facilities for the pursuit of scientific research, and the outstanding quality of the areas that define its profile. From 2007 to 2012 Georg-August-Universität Göttingen was rewarded funding from the Initiative of Excellence of the German Federal and State Governments with its institutional strategy for the future entitled “Göttingen.Tradition – Innovation – Autonomy”. The University was able to realise all measures of the concept. Now Göttingen University develops the successfully established measures further to continously advance the University’s positive developments in research and teaching. A University with Tradition The University bears the name of its founder Georg August, King George II of Great Britain, Elector and Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, (Hannover). In affinity with the spirit of the Enlightenment, Göttingen abandoned the supremacy of theology and set its faculties on an equal footing. As an academic location Göttingen was long regarded as the hub of the mathematical world – a position lost, however, in 1933 when under Nazi rule more than 50 professors and lecturers were forced to leave the University, among them several of around 45 Nobel laureates whose names are associated with the city. After the end of World War II, Göttingen University was the first in Germany to resume its teaching operations and it went on to become one the largest higher education institutions in the country. University as a Foundation Intensifying the process of internationalisation, promoting excellence in research and teaching, adopting Bachelor’s and Master’s degree structures, giving all levels of the University greater autonomy and self-responsibility, optimising resource allocation: These steps characterise the reforms recently undertaken at the University. At the beginning of 2003, the Georg-August-Universität became the first German university with a comprehensive range of disciplines to assume the legal status of a foundation under public law. The University has since then enhanced its research profile, created new research entities such as the Courant Research Centres and the Lichtenberg-Kolleg, intensified cooperation on the Göttingen Campus, attracted and retained outstanding academics and supported the recruitment of excellent students and young academics from abroad. Göttingen Campus The University of Göttingen regards its great research tradition and subject diversity as constituting particular strengths. Almost all academic disciplines including medicine are represented in the 13 faculties, the exception being engineering sciences. The Georg-August Universität is also distinguished by being closely integrated into a network of first-class extra-university research establishments involving, most prominently, the Göttingen Academy of Sciences, the German Primate Center, the German Aerospace Center and five Max Planck Institutes. Together, these local partners create with the University an alliance for collaboration in research and teaching arguably unique in the Federal Republic in terms of its depth and breadth. Successful elements of which include jointly run collaborative research centres, junior research groups and infrastructure facilities, as well as combined professorial appointments. This cooperation has recently bred outstanding research centres that have won funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Federal Ministry for Education and Research. Within the scope of the Excellence Initiative ,the promotion of the Excellence Cluster „Nanoscale Microscopy and Molecular Physiology of the Brain (CNMPB)“ and the Göttingen Graduate School for Neurosciences; Biophysics and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB) will be continued in the second programm phase. Due to the positive effect on student instruction and the fostering of young researchers emanating from the neuro- and biosciences in Göttingen, these research focus areas, cultivated together with the University’s institutional partners on the Göttingen campus, play an important part in shaping its profile. Research excellence at international level is also displayed in chemistry, physics of condensed matter and optics, biodiversity and ecology, geobiology and pure mathematics, as well as in German language and literature studies, oriental and ancient world studies, and theology. As a result of the integration process of the local research community, possibilities specific to Göttingen have arisen for the attracting and retaining of excellent researchers from both in and outside Germany, and top-quality research activities have been initiated and developed. Likewise, the advancement of exceptionally talented young scholars and scientists is a central strategic aim at the Georg-August-Universität. Studying with Excellence Göttingen has many advantages as a location for university studies which the Georg-August-Universität is enhancing by developing innovative degree programmes, Bachelor’s and Master’s degree structures, carrying out a systematic internationalisation of its study programmes and implementing quality-assurance measures. Approximately 30 000 young people currently study here, some eleven per cent of whom are from abroad – a clear demonstration of the pull that the University has long exerted internationally. The range of degree courses on offer stands out both for the outstandingly good study facilities in the natural and life sciences and for the breadth of subject diversity in the humanities and social sciences, a choice found at only a small number of universities in Germany. Such a spectrum of subjects enables overarching issues to be tackled with an interdisciplinary perspective, even at undergraduate level. With 80 subjects to choose from, some 1,000 combinations are possible on the way to graduation with a Bachelor’s degree. In its constantly expanding range of Master’s and Ph.D. programmes the University cultivates excellence and offers the proximity to research. Study programmes run in English, bi-national degrees and compulsory periods spent abroad prepare graduates for the international job market. The University of Göttingen’s international position is being further strengthened by the expansion of partnerships. In addition to the close complex of European universities within the framework of the Erasmus Programme, numerous cooperations at University, faculty and institute level facilitate study visits throughout the world, in some case also making scholarships available. In 2011 the University of Göttingen was successful with its proposals to further improve the quality of studies and teaching within the framework of the “Quality in Teaching Pact“ of the German federal and state governments. Since then, Göttingen University has been expanding the academic programmes it offers and further optimising the quality of study conditions. These measures will be developed in cooperation with students. Fostering the Scientists and Scholars of Tomorrow Doctoral training in Göttingen is concentrated in structured programmes based at four Graduate Schools: Georg August University School of Science (GAUSS) – Göttinger Graduiertenschule Gesellschaftswissenschaften (GGG) – Graduiertenschule für Geisteswissenschaften Göttingen (GSGG) – Graduate School Forest and Agricultural Sciences (GFA) (see: www.graduiertenschulen.uni-goettingen.de). The four Graduate Schools provide the organisational superstructure for the research training groups, doctoral programmes and International Max-Planck Research Schools. The aim of these schools is to optimise the research- and learning-conditions for doctoral candidates, offering intensive supervision and a range of seminars designed to advance the training of first-class scientists and scholars.The Göttingen Graduate School of Neuroscience, Biophysics and Molecular Biosciences, which operates under the roof of the Georg August University School of Science (GAUSS), gets funds within the Excellence Initiative since 2007. Funded by the German Research Foundation, Research Training Groups (GRK) are set up for a limited period with the aim of promoting young researchers and preparing them for their doctorate. At the International Max Planck Research Schools, the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft in collaboration with partners at the University is engaged in fostering young scientists and offers especially gifted students from Germany and abroad the opportunity to obtain a doctorate of special distinction. A World-Class University Library The founding of the Göttingen University Library in 1734 was a landmark: For the first time in library history the concept of a modern research library was put into practice and the institution became the first comprehensive academic library of European standing. Today, the Göttingen State and University Library of Lower Saxony (Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen, SUB) continues to hold a pole position. With over 7.8 million medial units, it is currently one of Germany´s largest libraries. The holdings include 5.8 million volumes, 1.5 million microforms, 34,000 electronic magazines under licence, 321.000 maps, 14,000 periodicals in print form, 14,000 manuscripts, more than 3,100 incunabula, 400 bequests and a host of digital items. In addition, there are another 138 independent branch libraries at the institutes and departments. A digital library competence centre of worldwide renown, the SUB directs or participates in numerous research and development projects in this domain.

The Forward College is governed by The Board of Trustees, The Academic Council and the President. The Team is organised into five operational groups which include Staff, Faculty, and Senior Advisors: The Bachelor in Business Leadership (BBL) Development Group The Academic Bachelors Development Group The Careers and Partnerships Group The Outreach, Admissions and Inclusion Group The Management Group The Founding Team Having worked in Government, major Tech companies, social business, and higher education in leadership positions, Boris and Leonor have witnessed how positive leadership relies not solely on expertise and rational thinking but also on other forms of intelligences: social, emotional, practical and technological. At the heart of their vision lies a desire to develop a more human and holistic model for higher education that is fit for the future of work and global challenges. VISION Resynchronising Higher Education Our times call for a switch towards a more positive and human model of leadership. This new leadership shall leverage all forms of human intelligences and skills: cognitive but also social, emotional, practical and technological. Blending tradition for excellence and innovation for relevance, FORWARD COLLEGE offers a unique programme designed for bright students who wish to bring about positive change. New Leadership Society and Businesses are evolving from hierarchical structures where leadership is about reaching positions of power into communities and networks where leadership is about engaging people for a shared purpose across areas of expertise, cultures, social backgrounds, and organisations. This engagement-based leadership reflects the changing aspirations of younger generations who wish to make change happen here and now, of employees wanting to feel engaged rather than “managed”, of citizens who seek to participate more actively in decision-making processes. Engagement-based leadership is relevant for business organisations that are increasingly decentralised, co-operative, and immersed in complex ecosystems. It is also more relevant for tackling highly complex challenges in areas including ecology, geo-politics, and economic inequality where top down approaches are proving ineffective. “MY BEST ADVICE: DEVELOP A REPUTATION OF EXCELLENCE IN THE THING THAT YOU WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR.” JEFFREY SAMPSON, FOUNDING MEMBER OF APPLE UNIVERSITY Based on All Human Intelligences Engagement-based leadership emphasises the central importance of human processes, requiring it to draw on the full range of Human Intelligences: “Training promising students into developing all of these Human Intelligences will nurture a powerful yet diverse set of values, beliefs, knowledge, and skills that are the key components of engagement-based leadership.”
The founding principles of the TUHH are unique in Germany. The priority of research, an interdisciplinary approach, innovation, regionalism and internationalism are the obligatory foundations for what we do. Research, teaching and technology transfer are centered around the guiding theme of developing technology for people. Mission Statement: TUHH is a competitive entrepreneurial university focussing on high-level performance and high quality standards. TUHH is dedicated to the principles of Humboldt (unity of research and education). TUHH has a strong international orientation and also focusses on its local environment. It does so by contributing to the development of the technological and scientific competence of society. Aiming at excellency at the national and international level in its strategic research fields. Educating young engineers and academics within demanding programmes using advanced teaching methods. The TUHH as a Driving Force for Reform Success is the result of innovative and courageous action. The history of the TUHH is a history of this kind of success. At few if any German universities have so many reforms been initiated and unconventional approaches been adopted so consistently as at the Hamburg University of Technology. Best of all, these reforms were developed by the TUHH itself. To develop technology for people has been one of the TUHH’s founding missions since 1978. Innovation within the technological sciences is, of course, its primary task, but innovation of the TUHH itself is a part of the motivation and a basis for the success of teaching, research, technology transfer, and continuing education.

Forty years of the University of the Balearic Islands The renaissance of the university fully met expectations and the new institution gained immediate support, albeit alongside certain misgivings. Today, the University of the Balearic Islands is, however, a shining robust reality that challenges all naysayers and continues on with the necessary strength and courage to expand and keep moving forward. The university was created by Act 18/1978 on founding a university headquartered in Palma de Mallorca, published in official state journal no. 66 on 18th March, and initially comprised the "Faculties of Science, Law, and Philosophy and Arts, as well as the university colleges of Business Studies and Teacher Training for General Basic Education already in Palma de Mallorca and affiliated with universities in Barcelona". After this first stage, new programmes were successively added, such as diplomas and licentiate degrees, with the opening of the School of Computer Science (1985), the School of Tourism (1985), the Faculty of Business (1987), the Faculty of Computer Science (1988), the School of Technical Telecommunications Engineering (1989), the School of Nursing (1990), the Polytechnic School (1992), the Faculty of Education (1992), the Faculty of Psychology (1999), etc. The University Statutes were approved in 1985 and the institution became known as the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). These statutes were revised in 1989, 1999, 2003 and 2010, with the current text dating from 2010. In 1983, construction of the campus began on Carretera de Valldemossa road, kilometre marker 7.5, with all services and studies finally transferring to the site in 1992. Only the Faculty of Science was located at the site before with all other programmes spread across different buildings in Palma (the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts in Son Malferit; the faculties of Law and Economics and the Office of the Vice Chancellor in Sa Riera; and the Teacher Training School in what is nowadays the IES Josep Maria Llompart secondary school). Sa Riera building in Palma remained as the headquarters for the Institute of Education Sciences and, since 1999, has housed the Office of the Pro-Vice Chancellor for Cultural Promotion, Open University and University Headquarters. Two further university headquarters have been in operation since 1996: one in Minorca offering degrees in Business Administration, Law, Early Childhood and Primary Education, Nursing and Tourism; and one for Ibiza-Formentera, on the island of Ibiza, which also offers the degree in Tourism through an affiliate centre. They also teach different Master's programmes, UIB-specific titles and the Open University for Seniors. Today, the university through ancient wisdom combined with its modern status is fully committed to its historical, cultural and linguistic reality, and continually strives to be an institution dedicated to the generation and distribution of knowledge, research and culture - activities that seek to attain the highest quality and academic rigour in the service of the nation. The university also aspires to imbibe the spirit of universalism and be open to an ever-more interconnected world, whilst fostering a climate of tolerance that enables the defence and promotion of our cultural and linguistic values, solidarity, respect for diversity and environmental protection.

Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance
Mission The Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance produces world-class research, with an emphasis on policy relevant topics. It also aims to improve the quality of higher education in economics and finance in Italy by organizing advanced graduate level courses, high-quality seminars and conferences. Overview The Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF) is an independent research institute, created in 2008 by the Bank of Italy. EIEF realizes the idea, formulated in the mid ‘90 by Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, then President of EIEF’s predecessor, the Ente Luigi Einaudi, of transforming the latter into a center with resident researchers, producing frontier research and high quality training. EIEF produces world-class research in economics and finance, generates ideas which are useful in the policy debate, and creates an environment that can help reverse Italy’s “brain drain” by both attracting strong foreign scholars and inducing the best Italian scholars trained abroad to return to Italy. EIEF also aims to strengthen higher education in Italy co-operating with Italian universities. Teaching activities were initially focused on graduate research-oriented courses and on supervision of selected students enrolled in various existing PhD programs. Since 2017 EIEF launched, in cooperation with LUISS, the Rome Masters in Economics - RoME - a challenging two-year graduate program (Laurea Magistralis) addressed to a small group of high potential selected students. EIEF offers a working environment that adopts the standards of, and strives to be competitive with, the best international academic institutions. The result is an intellectually rich and dynamic environment, free from many of the bureaucratic constraints that burden the Italian academia, able to pay competitive salaries, strictly meritocratic in its selection criteria, and strongly research oriented.
