In the international competition for the very best students and scientists, it is essential to raise the appeal of Germany as a centre of science and research and to actively promote and advertise study and research opportunities in Germany. This calls on the universities to create attractive study and career offers as well as to develop appropriately focused, hospitable frameworks and conditions for the stay, and to make these programmes and services visible and transparent worldwide by means of specifically designed marketing measures.
HRK President Prof. Dr. Margret Wintermantel, speaking in Berlin today, said: "The universities have already developed many procedures and instruments to support and advise international students and scientists. The Code of Conduct developed as part of GATE Germany documents the fact that the commitment made by the universities to ensuring that appropriate support and advice is provided is recognised as a key condition for the sustainable success of a stay completed at German universities by foreign students, doctoral students, as well as scientists and researchers."
Within the scope of the International Strategy of the HRK, the HRK supports the central Internationalisation Objectives of the German universities.
