International Days 2025 - 13th to 16th of May 2025: “Overcoming Global Challenges” - Thanks for joining us!

Welcome to the International Days at Mainz University of Applied Sciences! The last event took place from May 13 to 16, 2025 in our LUX exhibition pavilion in the city center.
We are welcoming in particular representatives (teaching and staff members) of our partner universities worldwide in Mainz. The International Days contribute to the international networking of Mainz University of Applied Sciences, the international
and local visibility but also to the exchange on various topics of internationalization.

In different sessions, we were addressing global challenges and discuss ways to deal with them. Participants took part or contributed to exhibitions, workshops, best practices as well as social and cultural events.

On 14th May, our main focus were the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG): 
•    How do internationalization and SDG affect each other? 
•    How can we use our cooperations in order to achieve the SDG? 
•    How can SDG play a role in the further development of universities? 
•    How can they be SDG be implemented in teaching?
•    Which added values do they bring to the institutional profile?

On 15th May, we focused on research as well as on student perspectives: 
•    How to start international research projects? 
•    Which specific challenges that go along with them? 
•    How can we improve in order to recruit international talent? 
•    What do students want, what do they need? – learning from students’ perspectives
•    How to make sure to prepare students for a professional career in the best way?

All sessions had a focus on a hands-on approach, including best practices, projects and initiatives. Everyone was invited to participate and to gain new perspectives - or to contribute as a speaker or to present their projects.
 

Participation is free of charge, participants need to cover their travel costs and accommodation. Further details as well as the registration form please find under the heading “at a glance”.

We look forward to seeing both many old and new friends in APRIL 2027!
