ÖVP science spokesman: The award has a high symbolic value for the state and the university
Vienna (OTS) – The occurrence of special living conditions and the resulting exceeding of the minimum period of study should not unreasonably lead to student luminaries not being awarded the highest form of recognition of outstanding academic success, the “Promotio sub auspiciis Praesidentis rei publicae”. , showed ÖVP science spokesman Abg. Rudolf Taschner satisfied with today’s decision in the National Council. Because this provides clarity.
The “valid reasons” for exceeding the duration of studies, which are mentioned in the federal law on the awarding of a doctorate under the auspices of the Federal President, are now listed in more detail following an incident. “This helps the universities in their recommendations to the President’s Office,” said Taschner. Basically, according to the ÖVP deputy, the doctorates sub auspiciis are not only important symbolic acts for the honorees, their families and friends, but also for the universities and for the whole state of Austria, which show the appreciation of the work done at the high schools , which is provided to the teaching and research institutions.
It goes without saying, emphasizes the science spokesman for the ÖVP, that a quickly completed course of study remains a prerequisite for the doctorate sub auspiciis. But there are a number of valid reasons that allow for delays. It is only beneficial to explicitly mention the most important of them. In addition to caring for close relatives, these include pregnancy, childcare, the presence of a disability of at least 25 percent, and generally other life-phase and biography-related factors that result from the social dimension in higher education.
