The DAAD program initiative HAW.International supports universities of applied sciences in preparing their students even better for a globalized labor market and qualifying them, together with their practice partners, as specialists for the German economy. At the same time, this program aims to advance the internationalization process both broadly and across all levels of the university. The HNU project ISUL, which aims to consolidate international cooperation, expand digital, international and practice-oriented study programs and promote networking between teaching, administration and research, is one of the projects funded in this program.
Important mutual exchange on DAAD-funded international projects
In addition to multifaceted keynotes and plenary discussions, representatives of German universities were given the opportunity to present their funded international projects to each other at this year's program meeting in Berlin. ISUL was presented by the two research assistants Sarah Leible and Verena Mattes, who found especially the input from other project leaders helpful for the still young HNU project. The insightful exchange is to be consolidated in the future. The learning from the conference workshops - among others on the topics "Measures to establish a welcoming culture throughout the entire student life cycle", "Digitally supported international partnerships and collaborations" and "English Professional Writing" - will also be incorporated into the work on the ISUL project in the future. The personal exchange with other universities and the DAAD is essential for the own project work: This was the conclusion of the conference, which was drawn not only by the HNU participants, but also by all conference participants in the concluding wrap-up.
