Thinking about tomorrow with your expertise

Committed visionaries!

The various administrative bodies within the university community aim to drive the university’s development forward and play an active role in shaping it. Their members come from a wide variety of fields both within and outside UW/H. They are all united by their creative drive and enthusiasm for innovation.

Through dialogue with one another, different perspectives converge, creating space for new ideas and projects for the benefit of the university, its research and teaching, and, of course, its young talents.

Why not join the team of those shaping the future?

Board of Trustees

Leading figures from the worlds of business and culture, politics and academia, as well as from the fields of teaching and professional practice, support the UW/H both financially and through their expertise as members of the Board of Trustees. They act as partners to the Executive Board, providing advice on matters of funding and strategic direction; as sources of ideas, they help bring about innovation within the university; and as mentors, they pave the way for new projects.
