Brief description

The "International Research Experience @鶹ýӳ" project aims to motivate students to pursue a career in science and promote international research collaborations. As part of the project, new, research-oriented study programmes are being created and the framework conditions for starting an academic career are being improved. Various scholarships provide financial support for research-oriented stays abroad as part of Master's and doctoral theses or international research projects.

This programme is about showing international career prospects and enable young scientists to take new career paths.
Prof. Dr. Carsten Diener, Rector of 鶹ýӳ Heidelberg

Project goals

With the project „International Research Experience @鶹ýӳ“ we pursue three goals:

  1. Internationalization of research-oriented education
    Starting with the study programs „Architecture – Design for the built environment“ (M.A.) and „Water Technology“ (M.Eng.) and in cooperation with our partner universities we are testing a new kind of seminar: the research-oriented „Research Event Series“. Together with international students and teachers you will be studying research-focused - both in virtual formats and in a research project week on site in Heidelberg. With the "Research Event Series" you expand your research skills, make new contacts and gain international and intercultural experience.
  2. Establishment of international cooperative doctorates
    You are interested in doing research? We are strengthening the follow-up perspectives for young scientists at our university and supporting your start into an academic career. The establishment of cooperative doctoral programs with our partner universities will give you the opportunity to conduct research in an international context. In the future, a newly established Graduate Center will offer you a comprehensive range of advice and support services for doctoral students and those interested in pursuing a doctorate. Feel free to contact us!
  3. Expansion of international partner networks
    We are constantly working on increasing international, research-oriented mobility and expanding our international partner network. To this end, we award various research fellowships for students, doctoral candidates, guest lecturers and experts within the project. ​​​​​​​and take the opportunity to broaden your research horizon abroad. In the future, a newly created international cooperation database will provide you with information on partner universities, research priorities and cooperation opportunities with international partners.
