Responsible Internationalisation

The aim of a new website is to support students, research and teaching staff, administrative personnel, and guests in acting responsibly and safely when operating in an international context.

International cooperation is a key principle of research and teaching, even a prerequisite for excellent scientific performance and for a first-class university education that enables its graduates to act with responsibility in their scientific activities, as well as in all fields of cultural, political and economic life.

International cooperation also comes with its own set of risks and challenges, ranging from personal safety and data security to engaging with structural, regulatory, political, and also ethical and cultural conditions in partner countries.
The contents of this website address these risks and challenges by providing information on:
- Where university members, affiliates and guests are personally accountable and liable in their international activities,
- Possible risks and guidance for acting safely in an international context,
- The different cooperation formats for working with international partners,
- "Green travel" and sustainability in internationalisation.
