The Technical University of Munich (TUM) has announced appointments to seven new professorships for the Hochschule für Politik München (HfP) - Bavarian School of Public Policy. The reform advisory board appointed one of the seven, Prof. Eugénia da Conceição-Heldt, as the new rector. Her mandate will begin on July 1, 2016. TUM has been the host university of the HfP since 2014. The application process for a new political science bachelor's degree program will commence in mid-May. "We transformed the Bavarian School of Public Policy in record time with the help of significant resources from the Bavarian parliament," comments Prof. Wolfgang A. Herrmann, TUM President and acting reform rector of the HfP. "With experienced international academics on board, the HfP is set to play a key role in shaping research, teaching and political discourse around the political changes we can expect in times of dynamic technical and societal progress." "The appointment of a new rector along with six additional professors heralds a new era for the HfP," proclaimed member of the Bavarian parliament and chair of the reform advisory board Markus Blume following the meeting that tabled the new appointments.
