At the founding date, the involved universities were the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, which took the lead of the Consortium, as well as the Erfurt and Braunschweig Universities of Applied Sciences. In order to do justice to the challenges of numerous coordination tasks with a growing number of universities, the Consortium counted on a flat joint administration right from the beginning. The consortial structure allows for a subject-related coordination within a study program for all consortial universities. The coordination with the international partner is assumed by a general coordinator, thereby disburdening the universities involved.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"6add39bf8264a\"><button aria-controls=\"content-6add39bf8264a\" class=\"w-tabs-section-header\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-header-h\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">2007<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/div><\/button><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-6add39bf8264a\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row  type_default valign_top vc_inner\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>In March 2007, the Association of the Friends of CDHAW was founded by members of the Consortium.
