Committed to RUB
All members of the workgroup are especially commited to RUB, as well as having international and intercultural experiences themselves. Rector Professor Weiler pointed out how important the expertise and diversity of the members is to RUBs further internationalisation. He himself was just listener in the workgroup, the rector said.
An important subject in the group's further work will be the internationalization strategy that will be resolved by the rectorate of the RUB in the course of the summer.
