Strategically oriented internationality is not only a prerequisite for excellent research, it is also a basic principle of professional university governance and essential for the further development of universities.

In a highly volatile global society, internationally operating organizations need to be agile - both to stay at the forefront of a dynamic international research landscape and to cope with international crises.
