The 2016 Executive Board Report of Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences, which has just been published, is the university’s official annual report. Spanning almost 80 pages, it provides interested readers with detailed information on the most important events and developments at the university and gives an overview of its work in research and teaching.
In its 2016 Executive Board Report, Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences provides an informative insight into its activities over the past year. The report not only presents the bare facts, but also describes specific developments and events. With its focus on being both an international and a regional institution, Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences has a unique selling point that is also reflected in the progress made in 2016. The reports from the Executive Board and the faculties highlight the diversity of the university’s tasks and initiatives. The Executive Board’s report is accompanied by evocative images from the ‘This is Us!’ photography competition, supported by the Friends’ Association of Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences (Förderverein Hochschule Rhein-Waal e. V.), in which students share their personal perspectives on the university.
Furthermore, the Executive Board’s report outlines numerous activities that were successfully implemented during the current year. For example, the first University Development Plan – drawn up in 2016 by all members of the university – was adopted this year by the relevant university governing bodies. The first of the action areas set out in the plan have already been put into practice. “The response to the university development plan within the committees was extremely positive. Together with the initial implementations, this represents a significant step towards the university’s further development,” said Dr Heide Naderer, President of Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences.
