Shape the FHP of tomorrow

With the Freiraum project, the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam is launching a comprehensive reform process to make its organisational structures fit for the future and develop them sustainably by 2028. The aim is to optimise internal structures, strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and use resources more efficiently. 

All members of the university are invited to learn about the first models for the future organisational structure of our university on 18th of June 2025 and to join in the discussion - in person on site or digitally.
