"Konferenz Hessischer Universitätspräsidien"

The five universities of the Federal State of Hessen have joined forces in the "Konferenz Hessischer Universitätspräsidien" (KHU). The Executive Boards of Technical University of Darmstadt, Goethe University Frankfurt, Justus Liebig University Giessen, University of Kassel and Philipps University Marburg meet on a regular basis.

The universities organised in the KHU jointly comment on current developments in higher education policy, especially in the State of Hessen, but also on education and research policy challenges at national and European level. The aim is to secure and expand the competitiveness of the five universities in Hessen.
