Strategy and structural development

“Moving knowledge” is the mission that guides Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and forms the framework for its future development. The four strategic fields of action People, Education, Research and Outreach, P-E-R-O for short, set the central priorities and give orientation for individual goals. They shape planning processes in the faculties, administration and the Executive Board. They are supplemented by four cross-sectional tasks – equality, internationalization, sustainability and digitalization – that link all areas and work in conjunction with the four fields of action to create the thematic matrix for the ongoing development of FAU.
