The goals of the University of the Greater Region
The main objective of UniGR is to create a strong university network in the Greater Region that promotes cross-border cooperation between students, doctoral students, lecturers and researchers and in which studying, doing a doctorate, teaching and researching in an international environment is a matter of course. To this end, the mobility of students, academics and lecturers will be increased and the range of courses and research profiles enriched. The following goals are being pursued in detail:
- Improving mobility between the UniGR locations
- Reduction of administrative hurdles
- Free access to courses, libraries, canteens and other university facilities and services between the partner universities
- Cross-border cooperation in teaching with coordinated courses and regulated recognition of achievements as well as expansion of study and teaching opportunities at the partner universities (e.g. new degree courses with double degrees)
- Strengthening cross-border research by networking academics, developing joint projects and providing each other with large-scale research equipment
- Close cooperation in doctoral training
Thanks to our great potential of well-educated, creative and committed people in the region, we can become a significant driver of development! Together, we will maintain and expand the attractiveness and reputation of the individual locations as well as their visibility on the European and international market. The good training, work and research culture and the improvement of the infrastructure promote a sustainable and highly visible network in which the Rhineland-Palatinate University of Technology Kaiserslautern-Landau is actively and creatively involved. The results we have already achieved in improving mobility between the individual locations and reducing administrative hurdles as well as developing networks between different stakeholders also play an important role.
The objectives of the UniGR
The main objective of the UniGR is to establish a strong association of universities in the Greater Region in order to promote the transnational cooperation of students, postgraduate students, lecturers and scientists, and to allow them to study, graduate, teach and research in an international environment. For this purpose, the mobility of students, researchers and lecturers is increased, and educational offerings and research profiles are improved. The individual goals to be obtained are:
- Improved mobility between the partner universitites
- Removal of administrative barriers
- Free access to courses, libraries, canteens and other university facilities and services between the partner universities
- Cross-border cooperation in education, including coordinated courses and controlled recognition of achievements, as well as expansion of the range of study courses and subject areas at the partner universities (new programmes with Joint Degrees)
- Increased cross-border research provided by networks of scientists, development of joint projects and mutual provision of rare research equipment
- Close cooperation in doctoral training
Thanks to our large pool of well-trained, creative and dedicated people in the region, we can become a driving force for development! Together we will increase the attractiveness and reputation of the individual universities and their visibility on the European and international markets. A well-developed culture of education, work and research, as well as an improved infrastructure serve to support this sustainable and highly visible network, in which RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau is actively and creatively integrated. The results achieved so far in improving mobility between the individual universities, reducing administrative barriers and developing networks between the various stakeholders, are of vital importance in this context.
