Objective
This program serves to strengthen the internationalization of the educational experience for scholars, host institutions and students by welcoming educators from abroad to university campuses in Germany for guest teaching assignments. The recent development of international degree programs and traditional curricula looking to infuse an international aspect provide opportunities for professors from other countries to contribute their expertise in particular subjects and teaching methods. Courses need not be taught in German, teaching in English will be very much appreciated! .

Requirements
Highly qualified scholars in all academic disciplines, preferably those who hold a doctoral or other terminal degree and have an affiliation with an institution of higher education, are eligible.
