Internationality

Today, science is widely international. Mobility and internationality contribute to academic success in many subjects. In appointment committees and for many third-party funding programmes, international research experience has often a high priority; this can be evidenced by stays abroad, embedding in international research networks, publications in international journals or similar.

You can find out in your academic environment how internationality is weighted, whether a stay abroad is recommended, where such a stay could take place, and what period of time seems reasonable for working on a (sub-)research project. A teaching stay abroad can also be used to build up an international network or to prepare a research project.

Under Research & Teaching Worldwide and in the Funding section, we have compiled some information on funding stays abroad.
