International rankings assess the performance of universities, departments or study programmes on the basis of various indicators. The importance of rankings from providers such as THE and QS continues to increase for universities, particularly in an international context. UPB actively engages with international rankings and endeavours to deal with them systematically.

Together with eight other European universities, in 2021 Paderborn University founded the European university alliance "COLOURS" (COLlaborative innOvative sUstainable Regional univerSities).

From January 2024, the Alliance will receive around 14 million euros in funding from the European Commission for four years as part of the European Universities Initiative. This means that COLOURS is now one of a total of 50 "European Universities" across Europe.

Together, the partners want to strengthen their European network, increase their international visibility and promote mobility within Europe. In addition, a multidisciplinary approach is to be developed to jointly tackle the global societal challenges of our time. Synergy effects are to be used to intensify cooperation in teaching, research and knowledge and technology transfer. Among other things, it is planned to create new attractive offers for virtual and physical mobility as well as long-term joint research, study and teaching activities.

In order to bring the COLOURS Alliance closer to the internal UPB university public, the individual Alliance partners will present their institutions during the International Tuesdays in the summer semester as well as in the upcoming winter semester 2023/24. In addition to a general presentation of the universities, possible starting points for joint cooperation with UPB in research, studies, teaching and administration will be highlighted. As part of the event, interested participants are cordially invited to exchange ideas with the partners, make contacts and ask questions.

Last summer semester, Le Mans University in France and the University of Ferrara in Italy presented themselves. You can find the presentations here.

On 12 December, the North Macedonian University St Kliment Ohridski Bitola (UKLO) and the Swedish Kristianstad University (HKR) will continue the series.

For her doctoral thesis, Eun Young Park analysed the support structures for international students in the USA, Korea and Germany. On 24 January, she will present her findings:

"In the process of the internationalisation of higher education, a meaningful integration of international students at host universities has gained interest in the past two decades. Concrete questions needed to be asked for reflection when universities want to keep up with and claim internationalisation as crucial part of universities’ innovation process and when it comes to self-representation in the context of global competition. Against this background, the purpose of this study was to explore the voices of the main actors involved and this round of International Tuesdays opens up to take a glance at the study’s findings to initiate further dialogues focusing on the meaningful support for international students at host universities."
