Ontario/Baden-Württemberg Faculty Mobility Programme

Objective:
 

The Ontario Baden-Württemberg Faculty Mobility Program is part of the state-to-state programme of Baden-Württemberg and the province of Ontario, Canada, with the objective of strengthening the exchange of science and research. It is the second pillar of the partnership besides the student exchange. Joint research projects can also intensify the cooperation in the long term and build a growing network. With the help of the deeper networking of researchers and lecturers, students can also be won over for future exchange.
