Last week FAU’s University Council and President Prof. Dr. Joachim Hornegger discussed who to appoint to the vacant position of Chancellor and came to the unanimous decision to appoint Christian Zens. In other developments, Prof. Dr. Kathrin M. Möslein will join FAU’s Executive Board immediately as the new Vice President for Research.

Digitalisation, climate change, ageing populations – these are some of the challenges facing us now and in the future. FAU researchers from a range of disciplines have made it their mission to combat them. The new Center for Management, Technology and Society (CMTS) supports and co-ordinates work on developing practical solutions through interdisciplinary research.
