The data obtained in the survey is currently being analysed and prepared for presentation. Within the course of the summer semester 2025 a first summary of results will be published here and will be presented in the university senate as well as other committees. The goal is also to publish results at the faculty-level towards the end of the summer semester.

The results of the survey will be presented and discussed in a public event towards the beginning of the winter semester 2025/2026, dates and details will be published here on this website. During the course of the winter semester there will also be the opportunity to talk about the results at the faculty level in several smaller events. Apart from this, the results will be forwarded to several departments and will be used for enhancing the university’s offers as well as for internal quality management.

The next survey is planned for 2027.
