It contains a conceptual component and an empirical component with a long-term case study from a European university.FindingsA cybersystemic approach to higher education has been shown, at the focal university, to be a powerful amplifier of individual and institutional capabilities, and it still has great potential. The crucial prerequisite is that the approach is virtuously designed and implemented.Originality/valueA case study ranging over 50 years is presented. The respective university has been a role model for other educational institutions for many years.
