These include deepening the mutual exchange and joint advocacy for scientific excellence in Germany, France and Europe, promoting the networking of research universities in Europe and worldwide, and jointly advising political decision-makers in both countries.

Prof. Dr Dr h. c. Michael Hoch, Chairman of the Board of German U15, emphasized the importance of the meeting:

"The top French universities are among our closest cooperation partners. In Paris, we discussed how we can join forces even better. I look forward to further intensifying our cooperation."
