International Staff Exchange
Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences also welcomes and promotes the exchange of employees from various fields of work at our partner universities. Two opportunities are available for this purpose:
Job shadowing is possible between colleagues who are responsible for comparable fields of work. For this, both the supervision capacity at the University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück and the financing, for example through the home university, must be secured.
Every two years, the Center for International Mobility coordinates the International Staff Week with cooperating partner universities. This exchange with a fixed program promotes networking between the partners and offers the staff of various departments the chance to experience first-hand how work is done in the other country. The website of the International Staff Week appears when the program is upcoming.
