The Excellence Framework Europe 2025 was developed collaboratively by experts from Germany (D), Austria (A), and Switzerland (CH). Based on an overall architecture designed by the editorial team, the content foundations were developed in several networked work processes and integrated by the editorial team. Numerous experts and users from the DACH countries were also involved in the review of the Excellence Framework Europe 2026.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to all the designers and experts whose dedication, commitment, and expertise made the realization and further development of the Excellence Framework Europe possible:
