Governance of Internationalization
At Osnabrück University, all university members contribute to practicing internationalization – as ambassadors, stakeholders, and contributors. They introduce international perspectives, maintain global networks, and create an open, diverse university culture.
This conviction is also reflected in our mission statement of the Internationalization Strategy (PDF, 7.83 MB):
Internationalization implies an ongoing process that is collectively borne by all members of the university.
In this process, university members are supported by numerous committees, institutions, and representatives. These have established roles and responsibilities and, thus, ensure a sustainable and strategic orientation of international activities.

Responsibility for the central alignment of internationalization resides with the following committees:
A2 Central support

A3 Decentralized actors
The departments are key drivers of internationalization. Regardless of size, structure, and subject orientation, each department has the following defined roles:
Internationalization is not an isolated process, but a dynamic cross-sectional task that depends on the active participation of all university members.
