Vision  rational integration of research (identification of integral elements and critical mass)  integration into ERA through collaborative European programmes  positively motivate students in both, formal and informal education programmes by creativity support  Increase number of doctoral students  Improve infrastructure in education by research Research and Education

Vision Quality vs. quantity and a balance between them... in research, education... everything around...
