Interculturality

CUI employs researchers from many different nations. This cultural diversity is seen in the cluster as an enrichment for all members. But of course, guest researchers and new cluster members who join us from abroad face specific challenges in which we want to provide them with the best possible support. The following formats and offers could be interesting for our international members:

• Diversity Days of the University of Hamburg (in German)
• PIASTA: PIASTA promotes internationalisation and intercultural exchange at the University of Hamburg under the motto: "Intercultural discovery, interdisciplinary learning, informed study!
