Four instead of five candidates presented their concepts on the first day of the hearing and faced critical questions. Initial reactions after the presentations: Who has good cards, who withdrew and who is not one of the promising candidates. 

Physicist Hans-Peter Steinrück from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg opened the series of hearings in Kapitelgasse on Tuesday. And in the end, he is also considered the favorite. In his concept presentation, Steinrück spoke of a Salzburg Alliance, by which he meant a close alliance of all persons and institutions involved in science, university and business. He received a lot of approval for this.
