Ontario-Baden-Württemberg Faculty Mobility Program

Research stays under the Baden-Württemberg State Program with Ontario, Canada

The Ontario-Baden-Württemberg Faculty Mobility Program is designed to strengthen academic and research exchange as part of Baden-Württemberg’s state-level program with Ontario. It thus represents the second pillar of the partnership, alongside student exchange. Joint research projects can also deepen cooperation over the long term and help build a growing network. Through deeper networking among researchers and faculty members, students can also be encouraged to participate in future exchange programs.
