Medal of Paderborn University
The founding of the first five comprehensive universities in North Rhine-Westphalia on August 1, 1972, was associated not only with the goal of expanding the educational offerings in the state, but also with the hope of contributing to the improvement of educational structures through a concept of reform in higher education policy: the realization of equal opportunities through the opening of access to higher education, the permeability of study programs and the regionalization of study offerings, the integration of theory and practice in research, teaching and study through cooperation in research priorities and through study reform.
In order to thank those who supported the university in fulfilling these tasks by promoting research and teaching, strengthening the connection to practice or enhancing regional, supra-regional and international relations, the Senate and Rectorate/Presidium donated the medal of Paderborn University as a sign of appreciation.
