Key Contacts

As a cross-sectional task, internationalization and the people involved in it can be found in almost all areas and at almost all levels of our university. Nevertheless, at UR there are some people, offices and committees who take on very special tasks in this context.

A detailed description of the organizational structures and responsibilities in the field of internationalization can be found in UR‘s Internationalization Guidelines (Internationalization@UR), but several key contacts in the field of internationalization are briefly introduced below.

At UR there are also a number of other institutions with activities focused on internationalization:
