Prof. Roswitha Böhm – Vice-Rector University Culture and Internationalization
„Habiter le monde, c’est se concevoir comme appartenant à un espace plus large que son groupe ethnique, sa nation. C’est endosser les multiples visages de l’humanité, se sentir héritier de ses cultures plurielles.” *
(Felwine Sarr)

Role
Based on TUD’s Vision and Strategy, the Vice-Rectorate University Culture and Internationalization shapes organizational innovation while promoting a collaborative, participatory approach to work and study. It accompanies transformation processes and is bolstered by the commitment of the university’s members and affiliates. In implementing new diversity, internationalization and sustainability strategies, the Vice-Rectorate is supported by the International Office, Directorate 9 and the Office for Academic Collections. The University Culture website and the online magazine "culTUre - Streifzüge durch die Universitätskultur" provide an overview of the Vice-Rectorate’s efforts.

* "To 'inhabit' the world is to conceive of oneself as belonging to a larger space than one's ethnic group, one's nation. It means taking on the many faces of humanity, feeling like an heir to its plural cultures."
