An English-language version of this circular can be seen here.<\/a><\/p>\nThe new just-approved economic scenario \u00bbwill help secure the university’s future during a time of government cutbacks,\u00ab the Rector\u2019s office writes. <\/p>\n
Government should say what is what<\/h2>\n
Budget manager Thomas Vind explains in the circular the problems the university has in budgeting, not knowing how much funding from the Danish government Globalisation Fund is available. In a perfect world these funds would help reduce the predicted 2013 deficit, he explains.<\/p>\n
But the university should not stake its hopes on this:<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe more optimistic the scenario, the bigger risk there is that we will not receive the expected globalisation funds. In the two scenarios suggested by the Board, it is expected that the university must conduct gradual adjustments to our budget,\u00ab Thomas Vind states.<\/p>\n
He adds that the scenarios will be adapted accordingly, as soon as more concrete information is provided by the government. <\/p>\n
Traffic jam ahead<\/h2>\n
Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation Charlotte Sahl-Madsen has recently stated that the globalisation funds would be made available to the universities. However, specific information about how the money will be distributed will be made public as late as the autumn of 2012. <\/p>\n
Budget manager Thomas Vind says that there will initiatives in 2011 to adjust the budget.<\/p>\n
\u00bbIt is similar to sitting in your car and hearing on the radio that there is a traffic jam ahead. You automatically start to slow down and you start searching for alternative routes. This is what the university will try to do,\u00ab explains Thomas Vind.<\/p>\n
