Globally Networked

Vice Rectorate for International Affairs

Professor Dr. Birgit Ulrike Münch is the Vice Rector for International Affairs. Her area of responsibility includes cooperation with universities, research institutions and research networks worldwide, the University’s integration into the European research landscape and the international organizations and institutions based in the region, in particular the United Nations in the UN city of Bonn.

Strategy

I see internationalization as the backbone of every university—at all levels, from the first semester to the recruitment of top international researchers. The University’s Internationalization Strategy has already achieved important milestones. Working with you and our global cooperation partners, I would like to expand our research and teaching partnerships, which are no longer just bilateral but now also multilateral, and increase the awareness of diversity in the area of international affairs.
