Making it Work

Hiring in­ter­na­tio­nal faculty is an im­portant element in in­ter­na­tio­na­li­zing uni­ver­si­ties. It creates greater di­ver­si­ty, opens access to larger talent pools, and in­crea­ses the in­ter­na­tio­nal vi­si­bi­li­ty of an in­sti­tu­ti­on. However, it also comes with some major chal­len­ges. Making it work is our series of ex­per­ti­se on hiring in­ter­na­tio­nal re­se­arch talent, in­sti­tu­tio­nal re­qui­re­ments and best prac­tice cases of German uni­ver­si­ties.

A Stra­te­gic Ap­proach to Global Re­cruit­ment

German uni­ver­si­ties must take a stra­te­gic ap­proach to global re­cruit­ment to stay com­pe­ti­ti­ve in the evol­ving in­ter­na­tio­nal aca­de­mic land­s­cape. Uni­ver­si­ties must enhance their appeal, refine re­cruit­ment stra­te­gies, and prio­ri­ti­ze on­boar­ding mea­su­res to ensure a smooth tran­si­ti­on, in­te­gra­ti­on, and long-term re­ten­ti­on of in­ter­na­tio­nal re­se­ar­chers, says Ca­th­le­en Fischer. By Ca­th­le­en Fischer
