Global Minds # 1 - 2026

Un­li­mi­ted Ad­van­ta­ges

The journal GLOBAL MINDS ex­ami­nes in­ter­na­tio­nal ap­point­ments in Germany from a stra­te­gic per­spec­tive and shows how they can succeed. With examp­les, in­sights, and ana­ly­ses, the journal is aimed at anyone in­te­rested in ad­van­cing the dis­cour­se on in­ter­na­tio­nal aca­de­mic mo­bi­li­ty. The first issue kicks off the dis­cus­sion.

In the in­ter­view, uni­ver­si­ty re­se­ar­cher Simon Mar­gin­son dis­cus­ses the chan­ging global land­s­cape of aca­de­mic ex­cel­lence and its con­se­quen­ces. Jour­na­list Andrew Curry has ana­ly­zed the stra­te­gies that have made Switz­er­land, the Ne­ther­lands, and Aus­tra­lia suc­cess­ful in in­ter­na­tio­nal ap­point­ments. The Uni­ver­si­ty of Mann­heim reveals how it was able to attract a young top re­se­ar­cher, and U.S. science his­to­ri­an Myles J. Jackson ex­p­lains why Germany should view the uphea­vals in the U.S. science system as an op­por­tu­ni­ty. 

Trans­la­ti­ons of the German texts will follow shortly.
