ENCUENTRO INTERNACIONAL DE UNIVERSIDADES ESTATALES

A third goal of the excellence initiative was to make the complexity of the German university landscape
more visible. After all, there are many institutions with the name ‘university’, but they provide quite
di erent services and focus on di erent areas of knowledge. An additional goal that has certainly been
achieved is the identi cation of the strengths and the qualities of the respective universities. This is – at
least from the point of view of Heidelberg and other very good universities – a blessing. What is more
di cult, however, is to make the government act accordingly.
The last objective that was aimed at was to strengthen networking. This seems to be a contradiction in
terms, for competition between universities and networking between universities do not go well
together. What was enhanced, however, was the cooperation between universities and business
enterprises on the one hand, and between universities and other scienti c institutions on the other hand.
In Heidelberg, for instance, we strengthened and institutionalised the cooperation between our centre
for molecular biology and the German institute for the research of cancer (DKFZ), which is conveniently
situated on the campus of Heidelberg University.
The most important elements of the process of selection, which worked quite well, are sketched in the
following model:
Finally, 38 proposals were judged worthy to receive funding, with some universities getting only one
project funded, others as many as ve or six projects. For the best universities, this meant a substantial
addition to their regular funding.
