Internationalisation at Paderborn University is a cross-sectional task that affects all fields and is supported by a large number of stakeholders. Since the summer semester 2021, the "International Tuesdays" event format has offered all members of the university the opportunity to network in an informal setting during lunchtime and exchange ideas, experiences and best practices with other interested parties. The first event in the summer semester 2025 will take place digitally on Tuesday, 20 May, from 1 to 2 pm.

HR Excellence in Research

In February 2025, Paderborn University was honoured with the "HR Excellence in Research Award". With this award, the European Commission recognises universities and research institutions that systematically work to improve the working conditions of their researchers.

As part of this HRS4R process (Human Resources Strategy for Researchers), the University has defined six strategic fields of action and developed specific measures, for example to promote career development or to improve the support and management culture. In order to further increase the visibility of Paderborn University as an attractive place to work, also among international researchers, the measures also focus on the targeted expansion of bilingualism in various fields.

HRS4R coordinator Dr Johanna Flore provides an overview of this process at Paderborn University and presents the initiatives and measures that have now been launched as part of HRS4R to further strengthen the framework conditions for academics at the university.

Further information and the Zoom link can be found on the event page.
