MeineAkademie
formed itself as a political and artistic collective on the occasion
of the opening of the Volkswagen university library of the Technical
University and the University of the Arts in Berlin in December
2004. As a reaction, we gathered information on the "sponsorship"-deal
between Volkswagen and the universities and intervened as friendly
scouts in Volkswagen-look. Since then MeineAkademie researched on
the political and economical background that lead to the public-private
partnership between the universities and Volkswagen. Departing from
Volkswagens engagement in higher education we conducted the neoliberal
reforms in higher education and tried to get a grip on the changing
relationship between state and economy.
Learn about MeineAkademies efforts to investigate and analyse neoliberal
models for higher education wherein Volkswagen, and especially the
Volkswagen AutoUni, was a model case for us.
