"I have been mayor and deputy mayor for general administration of the city of Leipzig since 2015. In this function, I am responsible for personnel, organisation, law, citizen services and digitalisation of the administration. Strengthening democratic action and awareness in administrative operations is one of my focus areas. Before joining the city of Leipzig, I worked for the Federal Ministry of Finance, the City of Mannheim, the World Bank and an international management consulting firm. I studied in T¨¹bingen, Paris and Harvard.

I find P?Dual exciting because in Germany we need good experts and managers for contemporary urban action in challenging times.

I would like to support the programme as a member of the advisory board because new models of academic education are of great interest to me as the head of human resources for the city of Leipzig."

"I am a professor of educational psychology at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. I studied at the TU Berlin, did my doctorate in Gie?en and habilitated in Mannheim. My research focuses on the professional development of young people and the preparation of student teachers for an inclusive school characterised by heterogeneity of the student body.

I find P?Dual exciting because it explores the potential of universities of applied sciences to combine research and teaching with an application-oriented focus on a scientific basis for shaping a further professional career. For graduates, it no longer has to be either practice or science, but it can be both. This is highly forward-looking."

"I head a department at the Institute of Transportation Systems Engineering of the German Aerospace Center and am responsible for the field of transport and mobility management at TU Berlin. Before that, I was a professor at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and worked in industry. I would like to support P?Dual as a member of the advisory board because it opens up new exciting career opportunities for young scientists. In particular, the linking of practice and university can set new impulses here for all involved."

"I was president of the University of Bamberg for more than 20 years and vice president for research and young academics for two terms before that. In addition, I held and still hold various functions in the national and international science sector, including on the Brandenburg state university council.

I find P?Dual exciting because consequences are drawn here from the insight that new goals do not lie along old paths.

I would like to support the programme as a member of the advisory board, because there is an opportunity here to pave the way for qualified scientists to become professors and to find new ways of acquiring professors.

"I am professor of human development and social policy at University College London, social research institute (United Kingdom). I studied psychology in Mainz (Germany) and completed my PhD on creative achievement in architecture at Leiden University (The Netherlands).

I would like to support the P?Dual programme as a member of the advisory board, as research and development activities at universities of applied sciences provide essential impulses for the innovative capacity of society. In addition, the societal demand for academic education related to professional fields is met by research activities close to the profession. However, a major challenge is to ensure the recruitment of professorial teaching capacities at universities of applied sciences in the long term and to recruit qualified personnel for teaching and research on professionally relevant issues. Setting new impulses for this task is a personal concern of mine, as is working to facilitate transitions between types of higher education institutions and to promote permeability between vocational education and higher education."

"I graduated from the University of Applied Sciences Hamburg Bergedorf and the University of Hamburg in 1985 with a degree in industrial engineering. Afterwards, I held various marketing positions at Unilever and Mars, as a management consultant in the USA, among other places, and as a board member or CEO in the retail sector at Tchibo, Ernsting`s familiy and Takko fashion.

For some years now, I have been involved in entrepreneurial activities and support companies and institutions as an advisor or in an advisory capacity.

I think P?Dual is important because the practice-oriented, academic work creates an essential foundation for our economy.

I want to support the programme as an advisory board member because I believe in the effectiveness of interdisciplinary teams and enjoy supporting undergraduate, graduate and all other stakeholders."
