Welcome to the Rector' Conference of the Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences (KFH)
KFH encompasses the rectors of the eight universities of applied sciences which are acknowledged by the Swiss Confederation. The Conference was established in 1999 in order to represent the interests of the universities of applied sciences when dealing with the Confederation, the cantons and other institutions in charge of education and research policy as well as the public in general. It works in partnership with the Council of the UAS of the Swiss Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education and maintains close contacts to the Federal Office for Professional Education and Technology, which manages and cofinances the UAS on the national level.
In July 2001 KFH was recognised as an association. Since May 2002 it has had a general secretariat.
KFH members consist of the directors of the Swiss universities of applied sciences. KFH is headed by a committee of three members and elects the members of the special commissions as well as the delegates.
