The UoC's International Strategy builds on the UoC Global Network that has resulted from diverse international activities of UoC researchers from individual research collaborations to participation in large international research networks.

To intensify international relations and increase the attractiveness of the UoC for international graduate students and young researchers, four measures have been taken:

Activity 1: UoC Strategic Research Partnerships
These partnerships will go beyond regular partnerships and will substantially strengthen and complement the UoC's research profile. The UoC plans to establish and develop at least two Strategic Research Partnerships all four Key Profile Areas.

Activity 2: UoC International Faculty Program
The main objective of the UoC International Faculty Program is to invite back outstanding international researchers who have worked with UoC academics and scientists in the past. The first researchers have already confirmed their visit to Cologne. Further information is available here.

Activity 3: Advancing the UoC's International Presence
The UoC is advancing its international presence by establishing even more liason offices that are supported by UoC ambassadors. Presently, there are liason offices located in Beijing (along with the China office of the China-NRW University Alliance), New Delhi and New York that work closely with the UoC's International Office.

In the future, the UoC will be focusing on specific geographic regions that correspond to priority areas of research conducted by UoC professors. Based on the research interests of KPA/CA IV, activities will be extended to include building stronger partnerships with institutions in Africa and Latin America.
