The University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, is a leading university especially in issues of social change and multiculturalism.

• Intensive contacts on the part of the Institute for Slavic Studies for almost ten years now

• Contact offers excellent opportunities for expansion both for students and for doctoral students and university teachers

• Cooperation especially in the field of Ukrainian Studies with the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, Kule Center for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore and Slavic Studies at the Department for Modern Languages and Cultures, joint publications, e.g. special issue "Boundaries and Belonging: Language, Diaspora and Motherland" in the "Journal of Belonging, Identity, Language, and Diversity" (https://bild-lida.ca/journal/)

The interdisciplinary university partnership with the University of Usti nad Labem revolves primarily around the challenges of post-socialist societies in the transformation to a strong civic culture and opposing processes such as populism, extremism, but also social inequality and the erosion of societal cohesion. 

• The partnership has existed for quite some time in the form of reciprocal teaching-research seminars by Czech teachers in Dresden (Prof. Lukas Novotny) and Dresden teachers (Cathleen Bochmann) in Usti.

• In the summer semester of 2021, German-Czech student groups had been taught together for the first time.

• These courses will be attended not only by students of political science, but also of Slavic and German studies, i.e. they will have an international and interdisciplinary orientation.

This partnership also resulted in a joint research project with other practical partners (the Euroregion Elbe/Labe and Aktion Zivilcourage e.V.) to promote democracy and civil courage in the border region, in which students from both universities in turn work with pupils in grades 7 to 10 in both countries.

The cooperation with the University of Mumbai is based on already well-connected collaborations with European universities (Magdeburg, Queen Mary College London).

• Specific person to contact: Dr Sachin Labade, English Department: successfully conducted local research project on language attitudes.

The cooperation with Bucknell, Pennsylvania: "Mapping Moravian Meanings" was developed within the framework of the DAAD project TUD-COIIIL.  It will be continued in Digital Herrnhut (https://dhh.hypotheses.org/).

In a multi-perspective, inter- and transdisciplinary learning laboratory, knowledge of European culture, starting from the mid-18th century, is developed in a transatlantic cooperation with modern digital learning and teaching environments.

The aim is to raise awareness and enthusiasm for collaborative work on the basis of high-quality sources, which will be made accessible together with the SLUB and the University Archive Herrnhut, and for the specifics of different regions of our world. The Digital Herrnhut project is to be located in the context of research on postcolonialism.

The cooperation partner from the University of Edinburgh is Prof. Dr. Douglas Cairns | School of History, Classics & Archaeology | University of Edinburgh | United Kingdom.

The collaboration will focus on the field of philological research on emotions. This will result in the following thematic foci:

• Invective as a means of dishonour, as the obverse of respect
• The role of emotion in invective, in speaker, target, and audience

• The role of the body (especially in terms of language which evokes disgust and abjection) in strategies of dishonour and invective

• The role of metaphor, especially embodied metaphor, in all the above areas

Furthermore, three postdoctoral fellowships for a six-month research stay in Edinburgh have been announced for 2019, 2020 and 2022, which were linked to the ERC-Grant-Project.

In addition, joint research events have been planned for each year since 2019, including an international conference on the entire research area in 2022.

The Université Cadi Ayyad (UCA) was founded in Marrakech in 1978. It is a full-scale university with more than 62,000 students in 14 faculties and academic institutions, making it one of the most important and largest universities in Morocco and on the African continent.

• Since 2000 expanded to include the École nationale des sciences appliquées de Marrakech; university with a focus on engineering https://www.ensa.ac.ma/

They achieve remarkable positions in international rankings in the categories: 

• lt. Webometrics Ranking of World Universities 2021 4th best university in North Africa
• lt. U.S. News & World Report 2021 21st place among the best universities in Africa
• lt. Times Higher Education among the 100 best universities worldwide that are not older than 50 years

The location provides an attractive range of courses, also for international students. In 2013, the UCA was the first university in Morocco to offer online teaching. It offers cutting-edge research in astrophysics in collaboration with the Oukaimeden Observatory near Marrakech.

• The cooperation between TU Dresden and Université Cadi Ayyad, which has existed since the beginning of 2016, was initially based on the DAAD's Higher Education Advisor Programme in order to establish a language centre at the UCA in exchange with the TUD's Teaching Centre for Languages and Cultures.
• The initial contacts between the UCA and the Faculty of Linguistics, Literature and Cultural Studies at TUD that arose in the process were then systematised within the framework of an Erasmus+ agreement.
• Since 2017, there have been regular exchange contacts at both student and teaching staff level, in particular with the Faculté des Lettres et des Sciences Humaines of the UCA and its Départements de Philosophie, de Géographie, de Langue et Littérature Françaises, de Langue et Littérature Anglaises, as well as with the École Normale Supérieure and the Faculté de Langue Arabe/Études Françaises. The intensively used reciprocal guest stays, each involving several lecturers from different disciplines, concern academic teaching (job shadowing, guest lectures) as well as research (participation in conferences, conception of joint projects and publications).
• The Franco-German Doctoral Programme "Unterschiede Denken" (“Thinking Differences”), funded by the Franco-German University, is the result of a partnership between the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociale (EHESS) in Paris, the Humboldt University (HU) in Berlin and the Technical University (TU) Dresden.
• The programme is open to doctoral students in the humanities and social sciences who will be able to participate in a structured, intercultural, cross-border and bilingual exchange. The follow-up application, which has been approved for the period 2020 to 2023, integrates literary and cultural studies issues more strongly than before under the title “Praktiken – Narrative – Medien” ("Practices - Narratives - Media"). Université Cadi Ayyad has been a third-country partner since the current term. This means that the already successful cooperation between TUD and UCA has been extended to include a structured doctoral programme on the one hand and two further (international) network partners, namely EHESS Paris and HU Berlin, on the other. This is an attractive offer for the recruitment of international researchers in the qualification phase.

YSU and TU Dresden have longstanding research and teaching cooperations. YSU is also a partner university in the structured doctoral program "Education & Technology". In addition, TU Dresden and YSU strive for co-tutelle procedures. In addition, there are short-term (3-6 months) and long-term research internships (min. 1 year) in both directions in this framework, but these do not necessarily lead to a co-tutelle.
