University of Freiburg Boosts Mobility and Digital Networking within Eucor Alliance
“To strengthen cross-border cooperation and dialogue as much as possible”
“We are very pleased to be able to substantially strengthen the Eucor alliance together with our partners and to contribute our expertise in mobility, digital networking and sustainability,” explains Prof. Dr Daniela Kleinschmit, Vice Rector for Internationalisation and Sustainability at the University of Freiburg. “The aim is to intensify cross-border cooperation and encounters in the best possible way, including as part of the University of Freiburg’s overall strategy.” Zitat MWK (optional)
The further development of mobility and digital networking envisages, among other things, that students will be able to register even more easily across campuses, register for courses at all five member universities and access teaching materials. In addition, the exchange of researchers and staff between the Eucor universities of Basel, University of Freiburg, Haute-Alsace, Strasbourg and KIT is to be further promoted in the coming funding period.
Networking on the topic of sustainability
In terms of content, the University of Freiburg will continue to promote the key topic of sustainability within the network and strengthen networking in particular. New formats for this will include a summer school for doctoral students and exploratory workshops for researchers. They are intended to promote cooperation and enable cross-border dialogue. In addition, synergies are to be created with the activities of the new Sustainability Innovation Campus, which is currently being established by the University of Freiburg and KIT.
