Strategic Partnerships at the University of Regensburg

As a transnational and transcultural hub, the University of Regensburg (UR) maintains an extensive global network of more than 350 partner universities worldwide. This network reflects UR’s strong international profile and serves as an important foundation for cooperation in research, teaching, student mobility, outreach, and knowledge transfer.
Since 2023, UR has been expanding selected international collaborations into Strategic Partnerships.

They are directly anchored at the level of the university’s executive board, ensuring high visibility, strong institutional commitment, and supported joint activities.
