Through the Swiss Conference of Higher Education Institutions, the Confederation and the Cantons shall work together to ensure coordination of the entire Swiss higher education sector and decide on the allocation of tasks in particularly costly areas; this shall be done respecting the autonomy of higher education institutions and in consideration of the different remits of cantonal universities, federal institutes of technology, universities of applied sciences and universities of teacher education.
Coordination shall include:
establishing priorities in relation to common objectives under Article 3 letters a–g and the required measures to be taken throughout the higher education sector;
establishing the financial plan at the national level, namely with regards to coordination of federal and cantonal contributions as well as funding of subsidising cantons.
The allocation of tasks in particularly costly areas is intended to ensure that education and research priorities receive effective and adequate attention within the higher education sector.
