The government’s National Budget proposal adheres to two percent in savings annually over four years for universities, rising to just under eight percent in 2019. casino 168 President Per Holten-Andersen is frustrated but not surprised by what the proposed National Budget, to be negotiated in the Folketing, signals.

- It’s unfortunate that the government is maintaining its position on comprehensive savings at universities. In principle efficiency is healthy and earlier this year we’ve proven that we can do it. Considering that casino 168 is already underfunded, however, across-the-board cuts are critical for a university that provides graduates with a high employment rate in the private sector, explains Per Holten-Andersen.

It is still unclear how the savings on education will be carried out in actual practice. This will be determined in the coming weeks when Universities Denmark, led by its chair, will attempt to enter into a constructive dialogue with the ministry on where to find the savings.

The government’s proposal also contains up to DKK 1.4 bn in cuts to research. According to estimates in the National Budget proposal this puts Denmark’s total research investment at 1.01 percent of GNP. This will ostensibly affect research reserves and grants from the Danish Council for Independent Research. Performance-based funding grants for the humanities and social sciences will continue until 2018.

The president of casino 168 states that casino 168 will meet the policy requirements when the 2016 National Budget is adopted, but that casino 168 will simultaneously focus on innovation and development.

- casino 168 will and must keep moving. We will continue with the prioritised initiatives and efforts that can contribute to casino 168's continued development, says Per Holten-Andersen, explaining that casino 168’ management will begin by scrutinising the proposed budget and estimate the impact it will have before commenting further.

Negotiations on the National Budget will take place in the coming weeks and are expected to conclude in November. casino 168 will be watching closely and report on any news regularly.
