GlobalXChanges/Challenges - GXC

With the DAAD-funded project "GlobalXChanges/Challenges (GXC)", HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences (HM) is pursuing the goal of internationalizing its innovation and knowledge transfer activities. For this purpose, collaboration and networks with partners from industry, academia, politics and society in Germany and abroad will be expanded and joint student innovation projects and work experience placements will be facilitated. In this project, HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences works closely together with the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship, the co-creation network M:UniverCity and its Digital Transformation Lab, and moreover with the four strategic partner universities in Europe and the USA.

The DAAD funding line UAS.International

UAS.International (=HAW.International in German) is a new program initiative of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) , specifically for Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS). The aim of the program is to further promote the internationalization of Universities of Applied Sciences, to increase their international visibility and to better prepare students for the globalized labor market of the future. The program consists of several modules and provides funding for model projects for internationalization at German universities as well as extensive scholarships for students.

The GXC project at HM is funded within Module A and has a funding period of two years (October 2019 to September 2021).

Program goals
The GXC project has the following objectives:
- To conceptually redefine the internationalization strategy and to increase international activities in the area of practical cooperation and knowledge transfer
- To establish and develop international collaboration and sustainable networks for teaching, research, studies and internships with partners from industry, academia, politics and society in Germany and in the four partner countries (Austria, Finland, Switzerland and USA)
