International Tuesdays
Internationalisation at Paderborn University is a cross-sectional task and cannot be successful without the effort, energy, and enthusiasm of a great variety of units and people. However, daily tasks often do not leave enough time for an exchange with students or colleagues who may be working in different fields or on entirely different projects.
The event series “International Tuesdays” wants to overcome this. Since the summer semester of 2021 it brings together members of Paderborn University during lunchtime, to present their work or best practices and talk about their ideas and experiences in a casual environment.
When and where do the events take place?
During the lecture period, we offer events on several Tuesdays between 1 and 2 pm, aiming at all interest groups at UPB (students, researchers, lecturers, administrative staff) depending on the individual topic. Students and teachers, researchers and staff, colleagues and those who are generally interested in international topic, are invited to listen, share, and discuss! Usually, the events take place virtually via Zoom.
Please note that one face-to-face events will be offered at a different time in the summer semester 2024: On 21 January at 10.00 am (room: O 4.267), the Welcome Services invite the secretaries from all faculties to a Secretarie's Café
All other events will take place as usual at 1 pm via Zoom. The link can be found on this website in the right column.
