Geraldine Rauch on challenges and opportunities ahead of the TU presidential election The election for the presidency at the Technical University of Berlin is approaching - and the campaign shows how political and emotional university politics can be. Among the candidates nominated by the Academic Senate is once again the current President Prof. Dr. Geraldine Rauch. In the interview, she talks about the challenges of this time and why courageous, value-oriented action is crucial for leading a university. Rauch emphasizes the high structural complexity of a university and stresses that a new start, especially in these heated times, would be a "Herculean task." For the coming years, she sees central focuses in budget consolidation, strategically sharpened profiling, and strengthening clear responsibilities in administration. She also highlights science as a key pillar of democracy - including its educational mission through active and understandable science communication. Looking at the election, she advocates for a fact-oriented discussion: "I am fully committed to the further development of TU Berlin - and I look forward to continuing this path," says Geraldine Rauch.
