International profile

The University of Tübingen fosters bilateral and multilateral relations with research and exchange partners around the world. Internationalization in research is one of our key concerns. It is also part of our institutional strategy, funded by the German government's Excellence Strategy program. In late 2021, the University adopted its international strategy, "Raising Global Awareness". It sets out the most important goals and priorities for five years to come and puts them in the context of previous developments.
