The partnership will include the exchange of students, teaching staff, and researchers, as well as joint research projects and publications. The two universities also plan to exchange academic publications, materials, and information and offer special short-term programs, workshops, research internships, and virtual courses and laboratory programs.
“The partnership with UC San Diego marks a milestone in the University of Potsdam’s internationalization efforts,” says UP President Oliver Günther. “At a time of global challenges, direct exchanges between two institutions of such excellence are essential. We are connecting not just two locations, but two research communities. I am confident that these synergies will generate new momentum in research and teaching and strengthen our transatlantic ties for years to come, enabling us to work together to find forward-looking solutions to the most pressing questions of our time.”
