We are delighted that you have chosen Freiburg and our university for your studies. Freiburg is undoubtedly one of the most popular places to study in Germany. This is due in part to the quality of its academic programmes, but also to the proximity of the university to France, Switzerland, and the Black Forest. In addition to academic excellence the University of Freiburg offers a broad range of opportunities for your personal and professional development. You are about to enter a new phase of your life where you, as part of an international community, will have the opportunity to gain many insights and to build friendships with young people from all over Europe. This information brochure, published by the university’s EU Office, will guide you throughout your stay at our university. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the EU Office or the subject coordinator in your department. I wish you an enriching and successful time at the Albert Ludwigs University in Freiburg! CONTENTS Professor Dr. Hans-Jochen Schiewer History of the University of Freiburg 4 Rector of the Albert Ludwigs University The City of Freiburg 6 About the Albert Ludwigs University 10 The Erasmus Programme 20 General Practical Information 30 Important Addresses 36 Checklist 38 Contributors 41 ERASMUS STUDY GUIDE · EU-OFFICE FREIBURG 3 In the year 1457 the University of Freiburg was founded by Albrecht VI of Austria. Today it is one of the oldest higher educa- tion institutions in Germany and has one of the richest traditions. In the beginning of the 19th century, when the city of Freiburg became part of Baden, the grand duke Ludwig of Baden assured its continued existence. Therefore, in recognition of the genero- sity and support of these two patrons and benefactors, the uni- versity adopted their names in 1820 (“Albrecht” was latinized to “Albertus” in the process). From the beginning law, theology, medicine, as well as the “artes libera- les” were taught at the University of Freiburg. With the foundation of the faculty of mathematics and sciences in 1910 and with the new focus on medicine and the natural sciences set up at the university’s 500th History anniversary, the range of subjects taught had broadened considerably. Finally, with the establishment of the faculty of applied sciences new of the University of Freiburg fields of knowledge were added which allow the university the participa- tion in new areas of cutting-edge research. Today students may choose from a wide range of subjects divided into eleven faculties in the huma- nities, the social and the natural sciences. Outstanding achievements in philosophy, philology, historical research, economics, and law are asso- ciated with the names and the publications of Freiburg academics such as Heidegger, Husserl, Weber, Eucken, and the Nobel Prize winner von Hayek. Famous researchers such as the Nobel Prize winners Staudinger, von Hevesy and Krebs have given proof of the outstanding performance of the natural sciences. The humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam also spent a few years at the University of Freiburg. Due to his commitment to peace and tolerance as well as his attempt to mediate between Catholics and Protestants he is regarded as the “first European”. This is one of the reasons why the European Union’s student exchange program Erasmus is named after him. In 2007 the University of Freiburg celebrated its 550th anniversary with more than 300 public events. In the same year the university was awar- ded the title “Excellence University”, which honours Freiburg as one of the best universities in Germany. However, not only the university’s excellence is a very good reason why studying in Freiburg is a rewarding experience. Its location, its agreeable climate, and the large number of Albrecht VI of Austria Ludwig of Baden international students provide the city of Freiburg with a youthful, lively atmosphere and a rich cultural life. In the past ten years more than 10,000 Erasmus Students have come to the University of Freiburg and made the Albert Ludwigs University one of the most popular Erasmus universities in Germany. 4 ERASMUS STUDY GUIDE · EU-OFFICE FREIBURG ERASMUS STUDY GUIDE · EU-OFFICE FREIBURG 5 TheThe CityCity of Freiburg The city of Freiburg is situated in Southwestern Germany, close to the Black Forest and the lovely winegrowing countryside around it. Its geographical location makes Freiburg one of the warmest and sunniest cities in Germany while cool mountain climate and skiing resorts are just a short trip away. Founded in 1120, Freiburg, with its approximately 200,000 inhabitants, is the largest city in the region. Here, in the heart of Europe, venerable traditions meet innovative research. The important role nature and ecology play here is one of the reasons why Freiburg is said to be Germany’s “greenest” city. 6 ERASMUS STUDY GUIDE · EU-OFFICE FREIBURG ERASMUS STUDY GUIDE · EU-OFFICE FREIBURG 7 This popular students’ habitat spoils its vi- on a wonderful Christmas market.

  • Inter-University Networks: Rhetorics Vs
    Mae C. Fastner Inter-university Networks: Rhetorics vs. Reality Objectives and Activities of Members of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities Master’s Thesis Public Administration // Policy and Governance Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Hans Vossensteyn, Dr. Harry de Boer, Renze Kolster (M. Phil.) Candidate number: s1578634 March 14th, 2016 Abstract This qualitative study investigates higher education institutions’ engagement in inter-university networks. Inter-university networks are defined as formal, multilateral, multi-purpose and voluntary cooperative arrangements between higher education institutions from multiple countries which are coordinated by an additional administrative layer. This paper seeks to understand to what extent the activities universities perform within inter-university networks actually match their objectives towards these networks. Adopting a multiple-case study design including five European universities of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU), the study builds on the resource dependence theory which predicts that higher education institutions use inter-university networks strategically solely for the achievement of their objectives. The goal of the study is to test the resource dependence theory’s expectation that higher education institution’s objectives towards their inter-university network engagements and the activities which they perform within such networks are aligned with each other. The empirical evidence includes primary data collected mainly through semi-structured interviews. The thesis begins with setting out the research focus and design, followed by an introduction to the phenomenon of inter-university networks including a description of their characteristics and factors of success and failure. Subsequently, the theoretical framework based on the resource dependence theory is outlined and a theoretical expectation guiding the research is developed.
