Centre for International Affairs

Under the guiding principle of "international and networked", the Centre for International Affairs (CIA) sees itself as a central point of contact to further promote international networking at HNEE as an interdisciplinary task in research, teaching and administration. We support the integration of global perspectives in all areas of the university in order to orientate the university community internationally and thus enrich the everyday study and work life of all members.

One focus of our work is on integrating international dimensions into the schools as well as into teaching and studies and maintaining and supporting the development of international cooperation in teaching and research, which should strengthen academic exchange and enable innovation. The CIA works with central and decentralised institutions and many different stakeholders at HNEE, such as → InnoSupport: Research | Foundation | Transfer, the → Language Centre, the → Student Support Service and the → Career Service, to create synergies and support the university's strategic goals.

Promoting a welcoming culture at the university is also a high priority for us in order to give employees and guests from all over the world a warm welcome and create an open, supportive atmosphere that makes it easier to arrive and integrate at the university.
