The Team of the International Office
The International Office supports the implementation and development of the University's internationalisation strategy. We offer a comprehensive range of advisory and support services for local and international scientists and scholars, University staff and students, as well as a wide range of opportunities for cultural exchange. The department advises on projects to establish and expand international relations and provides broad support in their implementation. This includes the management and expansion of international (university) cooperations and strategic networks, as well as the promotion of exchange opportunities abroad. These efforts are also complemented by the acquisition and coordination of externally funded projects (EU, DAAD, MWK, etc). Liaison Offices in China and India and the International Marketing department provide support to these goals, as well as work to promote the visibility of the University at home and abroad.
