Search"Internationale Experimente" (from the Humboldt lab)
Within the framework of the university's Zukunftskongress we have organized a workshop called "Internationale Experimente" that dealt with the relations of the University with foreign countries. The goal of this workshop has been summarized in the announcement for the congress:
"Im Workshop "Internationale Experimente" geht es darum, Denkanstöße zu geben zur konkreten Ausgestaltung der internationalen Beziehungen der Universität im Spannungsfeld zwischen Mobilität in einer globalisierten Welt und einer individuellen Ausgestaltung von Lehr- und Forschungsprogrammen, zwischen internationaler Exzellenz und Völkerverständigung."
More than 20 participants from various areas - among them the vice secretary general of the DAAD, Dr. Dorothea Rüland, and Ministerialdirigent Rolf-Dieter Schnelle from the Foreign Ministry - discussed issues of how the Universtiy should build its international relations and programmes accommodating possible areas of conflict auch as mobility in a globalized world and and the need for individual study programmes and incentives or between international understanding and excellency in science.
The results were documented in a new and interesting way using a pictorial language and a tablet-PC (german only).
Here are some impressions of these exciting two days:
