Deal cut over university billions

The ‘globalisation fund’ which includes billions for university funding is now to be divided out. This is after talks between government and the centre-left opposition have been successful.

»You got all the money you wanted. Almost«.

This is what the Minister of Science Helge Sander of the Liberal Party let slip in a speech to universities at a prize-giving in the University of Copenhagen’s Geological Museum, before going into more detail.

The globalisation-fund negotiations had been pulled from the rocks earlier this week after a politically dramatic shipwreck.

To broker the new deal, the government put DKK 429 million aside for education, and in return the opposition dropped its ultimatum on child benefits.
