Academic Staff

We invite academic staff to give lectures from a variety of fields, such as management, economics, finance, international relations, political science and psychology, to provide a multi-faceted insight into current issues.

International Relations Staff / non-academic staff

We invite colleagues, e.g. from International Relations or International Offices, to discuss student and staff exchanges, including blended mobility projects, and share ideas on new Erasmus+ strategic objectives: Inclusion and Diversity, Green Erasmus, Digitalization and Civic Engagement.

All participants

We will present our university and the concept of dual study, and look forward to exchanging ideas on how to increase students' employability and success.

Our region

Experience the Black Forest region in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, one of the leading economic and innovative regions in Germany and Europe, home to internationally renowned companies, but also a vacation destination with beautiful landscapes and a rich cultural life.
