Feedback on research to listen to: Podcast series on results of the APIKS project

Current developments in the German higher education and science system - investigated in the APIKS project of INCHER-Kassel, a scientific center for higher education research at the University of Kassel - are the subject of a series of five podcasts in which journalist Jan Martin Wiarda talks to experts from higher education policy and research.

In one podcast each, Julika Griem (DFG), Dorothea Wagner (Wissenschaftsrat), Steffen Mau (HU Berlin), Ulrich Radtke (HRK) and Tilman Reitz (University of Jena) contribute their views on the situation of academics at universities.

The common basis of the discussions are the current research results of the project "Academic Profession in Knowledge Society (APIKS)" of INCHER-Kassel. In the German sub-study of this international research project, Christian Schneijderberg and Nicolai Götze examined the changes in working and employment conditions at universities of applied sciences and universities over the past three decades. The project report "Organized, metricated and excellent scientists*. Changes in Working and Employment Conditions at Universities of Applied Sciences and Universities from 1992 through 2007 to 2018" to which the interviews refer, was published as INCHER-Working Paper No. 13.

The interlocutors of science journalist Jan Martin Wiarda are Julika Griem (DFG), Dorothea Wagner (Wissenschaftsrat), Steffen Mau (HU Berlin), Ulrich Radtke (HRK) and Tilman Reitz (University of Jena). In the five conversations, each lasting 45 to 60 minutes, they each bring their institutional, disciplinary, content-related and, of course, personal perspectives on the development of higher education and science.
