Image: Jens Meyer (University of Jena) - During its General Assembly in Trier, the German Rectors' Conference (HRK) elected Walter Rosenthal as its new President. Rosenthal, who has already held the position of HRK Vice President for Research, Academic Career Paths and Transfer since December 2021, was elected in the very first ballot. The term of office of the new HRK President runs until 31 July 2026. The early election had become necessary because the previous HRK President, Peter André Alt, had left office before the end of his term. "I would like to thank my colleagues for the trust they have placed in me and I am looking forward to my new task," said Prof. Rosenthal after his election. He added that in his new role as President of the HRK, he will work to strengthen the position of the universities within the scientific system in Germany.
