Implementation of cost-saving measures in the 2018–2021 performance period

The University of Basel has accepted the challenges of the 2018 to 2021 performance period and defined the necessary measures. On the one hand, payments into the real estate fund will be reduced and reserves will be released. At the same time, the budgets of the faculties and departments will be reduced by an average of 2.5 percent. The implementation of these measures will ensure that the University of Basel can continue to develop in strategically important areas during this performance period, despite a decline in its global contribution.

1. The suspension of the incremental increase in 2019 will lead to a reduction of personnel costs in subsequent years. Beyond that, there are no plans to further suspend the incremental increase as part of the cost-saving measures.
