After six exciting months of interning for UAS7 in New York City, my time in the city that never sleeps has come to an end. I would like to take a moment to look back on this incredible time.

Durante a semana de 13 a 17 de maio 2024, os membros das universidades de ciências aplicadas da UAS7 são convidados especialmente para participar da 7ª Jornada Internacional de Enfermagem em FH Münster.

Prof. Dr. Frank Dellmann is the new Chairman of the UAS7 university network. On April 1, 2024, the President of Münster University of Applied Sciences will succeed Prof. Dr. Andreas Zaby, who has held this office since 2016 and is now moving to the Federal Agency for Leap Innovations SPRIND in Leipzig. The presidents of the seven member universities from Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich, Münster and Osnabrück unanimously elected Frank Dellmann to his new position at their last meeting.

On February 1, 2024, UAS7 organized one installation of the #DWIHzeitgeist series on “Science Diplomacy in Practice”. The webinar brought together UAS7 science diplomacy practitioners: Prof. Dr. Lars Ribbe from TH Köln UAS and Prof. Dr. iur. Ekkehard Strauß from HWR Berlin, as well as Prof. Melissa Bilec from our partner, the University of Pittsburgh.

On December 7, 2022 the Alumni Holiday Gathering had its comeback after two years. Together with the liaison offices of German universities located in New York City, the German Research Foundation (DFG), and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) we organized our well missed event at the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany New York. Friends and alumni of various German universities and institutions came together to kick-off the holiday season.

Convened by the German Center for Research and Innovation, UA Ruhr and UAS7, and supported by the German Consulat General, 40 high level science diplomacy experts and practitioners met on November 30, 2022 to exchange their work and thoughts on the role of science diplomacy and multilateralism for the most pressing global issues. 

About 150 undergraduate and graduate students, young professionals, career service advisors and anyone interested in studies abroad joined us online for the virtual Germany Grad Fair 2022 on November 8.

This year, the hybrid event took place from 17 to 28th of October, gathering more than 140 students from 12 universities from all over the world. The multicultural teams worked hard to develop solutions tackling the Sustainable Development Goal 11: make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
