## Research Cooperations

## Regional Priorities in International Cooperation

Working on the basis of existing intensive academic contacts, shared values and regional ties, the University has identified eight countries as areas for targeted cooperation. Strategic partner universities have been identified in six of these countries and cooperations with existing partners have been expanded systematically. One of these future areas of focus is the “Global South”, with which we plan to specialize in capacity building activities and the mobilization and exchange of knowledge and expertise.
