Internationally engaged and interconnected
The University of Stuttgart's strategic goal expressed in the slogan “internationally engaged and networked” describes undertakings with a global perspective.
Because an international orientation encourages diverse intellectual approaches, it attracts students and scientists from around the world. The University’s international atmosphere, the way it organizes studies, and the focused way it promotes international projects ensure that our graduates are equipped to meet their responsibilities in various contexts, both here at home and abroad.
Researchers, students, and staff take international and cultural aspects into account in their methods, programs, and ways of working. They promote the University of Stuttgart’s self-image as a
- Globally recognized research university on the cutting edge of scientific-technological progress,
-
as well as a
- Reliable and internationally accepted partner for knowledge and technology transfer in industry, science, and society

The strategic focus of international activities began in 2011, and was continued in the university’s overall strategy development from 2013 to 2018 as well as by internationalizing the HRK audit process in 2017. Representatives from all faculties, the central units, the administration as well as students have been in dialog with one another about the internationalization strategy since 2018 as part of the Steering Committee Internationalization, and are implementing this strategy together.
