Advantages of Autonomy

Financing• Funding in periods of 3 years • Contractually secured

by performance agreements (negotiated between ministry and TU Graz)

• Extensive flexibility of financial allocation



Advantages of AutonomyOrganisation• Organisation of administration• Definition of the level

where the decisions are done• Delegation of a lot of responsibility to

faculties, institutes and single organisation units (effectiveness and quality of decision)

• Change processes from permission to report • Speed of decision




Education• Introduction of curricula at university level

Senate of TU Graz instead of Ministry• Ministry confirms funding of curricula

every 3 years




Research• Creation of profit centers at institutes

• Motivation for acquiring research projects and third-party funds

• Shareholding in cooperations



Challenges of Autonomyinternally• Transition of business culture

(from public officers to entrepreneurial staff)• Structure of a joint-stock company• Financial accounting and balancing• Auditing of financial accounts• Personal risks for members of the rectorate



Challenges of Autonomy

externally• Financial depletion by the ministry• Incremental reduction of funding• No coverage of structural effects in personnel

costs and of new legal requirements (e.g. labour agreement)

• No coverage of rise in student figuresrise in student-to-teacher ratio risk: quality decrease in education



Key Messages

Oppertunities increase• Extensive flexibility of financial allocation• Design of internal processes and

administration• Introduction of new curricula• Creation of profit centers• Shareholding in cooperations



Challanges and risks• Transition of business culture• Legal requirements of a joint-stock company• Personal risks• Financial depletion by the ministry

It is better to take the risk and to be free in decision
