Strategic Partner Universities

We call universities our strategic partners when our collaborative foundation is built on intensive cooperation, shared visions and goals, and joint projects.

These longstanding relationships offer benefits such as knowledge exchange, efficient decision-making processes, and strategic initiatives. In strategic partnerships, we collectively tackle challenges, seize opportunities, and strengthen our universities globally. Through close collaboration, we develop innovative solutions and learn from each other.

Additionally, our research and teaching staff benefit from opportunities for professional development, academic networking, and internationalization. The intense exchange allows them to expand their expertise, discover new research approaches, and become part of a global network.
