University of Augsburg
The University of Augsburg was founded by the Free State of Bavaria as a reform university. According to its motto " Scientia et Conscientia," its aim is to increase knowledge conscientiously through research, teaching and studies and to take social responsibility for such knowledge. The unrestricted freedom of all to increase knowledge, acquire knowledge and preserve knowledge is its obligation. In the exercise of its autonomy, it sees itself as a cooperative centre of culture and science. This mission statement is concretised in guiding principles:
- Education, Teaching, and Research
- Quality
- Self-administration
- Openness
- Publicity
