Higher education collaborations promote the exchange of knowledge, build cultural bridges and strengthen the global connectivity of research and teaching. But how can strategic partnerships be identified? What factors play a role? How do we develop alliances with countries where academic freedoms and other democratic values are under threat? And how can existing, trust-based partnerships be expanded, especially at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions?

At the panel discussion “Cooperation in Transition – Opportunities and Risks of International Collaboration" with subsequent audience participation, we would like to discuss with you the challenges and success models of international higher education cooperation
