The aim of the project was the consistent implementation of the internationalization strategy of the University of Greifswald through the expansion of academic partnerships in Vietnam, Ukraine, Armenia and – until the beginning of the Russian war of aggression – in Russia. By enabling mobilities for students, teaching staff and administrative personnel, the project sought to foster international competences, establish new academic networks and integrate innovative teaching and research approaches into the university. Particular emphasis was placed on the sustainable consolidation of joint research and study programs, the promotion of young academics as well as the inclusion of new status groups in exchange activities. In addition, the international visibility of the university was to be strengthened and its role as a bridge institution between Northern and Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia and the Caucasus underlined. The project aimed to improve the quality of study, teaching and research through European and international impulses, to contribute to regional development, and to promote and anchor fundamental values such as openness, tolerance, dialogue, transparency and European identity in the long term.
