HRK International


HRK’s International Department cooperates with higher education institutions and corresponding organisations all over the world. The aim is to represent the interest of German higher education institutions at an international level and to support German universities in their internationalisation process. In 2008 the German Rectors' Conference adopted an International Strategy.



 

HRK focusses its work in the international sector on the following internationalisation aims of German higher education institutions:


National Code of Conduct on Foreign Students at German Universities


In November 2009, the General Meeting of the German Rectors' Conference (Hochschulrektorenkonferenz - HRK) adopted a National Code of Conduct on Foreign Students at German Universities. The Code of Conduct was developed by a joint working group of HRK and DAAD in the framework of GATE Germany.


Audit „Internationalisation of Higher Education Institutions“


With the Audit "Internationalisation of Higher Education Institutions" the German Rectors' Conference supports its member higher education institutions in defining and developing their specific international profile.

 


German House of Science and Innovation Tokyo


                                            

In the framework of its strategic plan to internationalise German science and innovation the German Government, represented by the Federal Foreign Office and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, developed a concept for establishing German Houses of Science and Innovation in five locations worldwide (Tokyo, Moscow, Sao Paulo, New Delhi and New York).
