Strengthening the University of Basel 2010-2013

The University of Basel has presented a strategy which is designed to secure it a place amongst the ranks of leading international institutions, even in a world of heightened academic competition. The governments of the two responsible Cantons, Basel-Landschaft and Basel-Stadt, support this strategic approach and are keen to facilitate its implementation by approving a significant rise in their financial support during the 2010-2013 budget period. The annual global contribution of the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft is set to rise from its current level of CHF 267.1 million (2009) to CHF 314 million (2013) by the end of the budget period. The governments of Basel-Landschaft and Basel-Stadt have forwarded a corresponding proposal to the Legislative Council and to the Great Council respectively.
