Think globally – act regionally
Global thinking and the recognition of diversity and heterogeneity are indispensable for the joint solution of social challenges that can no longer be mastered on a national level. Internationalisation is an overarching, strategic cross-sectional task for the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences in order to ensure and increase the quality of studies and teaching, research, transfer and continuing education. The Internationalisation Strategy 2022–2027 sets out the most important goals along the way.
Erasmus+
Erasmus+, das Mobilitätsprogramm der Europäischen Union, wurde 1987 ins Leben gerufen, um die Zusammenarbeit von Hochschulen innerhalb der EU und anderen europäischen Ländern zu stärken. Die neue Erasmus+ Programmgeneration 2021-2027 stellt als horizontale Themen die Digitalisierung, Green Erasmus, Inklusion und Civic Engagement in den Fokus des Programms. Die Erasmus+ Programmländer sind die 28 EU-Mitgliedstaaten plus Island, Liechtenstein, Norwegen, Türkei und Nord-Mazedonien und Serbien. Das Programm fördert in drei Leitaktionen Mobilität im Hochschulbereich, Kooperationsprojekte und Projekte zur Politikunterstützung.
Informieren Sie sich genauer zu den Leitaktionen und der Erasmus Programmgeneration 2021 – 2027.
An der FH Potsdam ermöglicht Erasmus+ die Mobilität von Studierenden, Dozierenden und Hochschulmitarbeiter*innen. Mit einer Förderung der EU können akademische und persönliche Erfahrungen in anderen europäischen Staaten gesammelt werden und deren Studien- bzw. Praktikumsangebote sprachlich, kulturell und fachlich genutzt werden. Erasmus+ soll die Chancengleichheit und Inklusion fördern. Deshalb kann die entsendende Hochschule für Studierende und Lehrende mit einem Grad der Behinderung von mindestens 50 sowie für Studierende, die ins Ausland mit Kind gehen, eine Sonderförderung zahlen.
Der Austausch und die Kooperation mit europäischen Hochschulen basiert auf inter-institutionellen Vereinbarungen mit Partnerhochschulen. An beiden Partnerinstituten gibt es eine*n Erasmus-Hochschulkoordinator*in und mehrere Erasmus-Fachkoordinator*innen, die den Austausch fachlich betreuen und koordinieren.
