Wissenschaft weltoffen kompakt 2026
Facts and Figures on the Internationalisation of Studies and Research in Germany and Worldwide
Since 2001, Wissenschaft weltoffen analyses the internationalisation of higher education and science in Germany and around the world. The compact edition of the annual data report contains the latest internationalisation indicators in a visually appealing format. The indicators presented provide information on mobility rates and countries of origin and destination of internationally mobile students in Germany and abroad. They also relate to researcher mobility to and from Germany as well as internationalisation structures in German higher education. The indicators presented are based on international data published by the OECD and UNESCO, national data from the Federal Statistical Office and the findings of own surveys among organisations that support students' and researchers' international mobility.
