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.


Vice President for Internationalization and Diversity

The Vice President for Internationalization and Diversity is responsible for planning and coordinating the internationalization measures at the University of Regensburg. In addition to representation and communication, the Vice President is responsible for developing and implementing the internationalization concept, for the structuring of international partnerships and for the overall strengthening of UR in its diversity as an international campus and transnational hub.
