As part of a team excursion, the International Office of the University of Basel visited the team of the International Office at the University of Liechtenstein in early July. The colleagues engaged in a personal exchange on shared topics such as student mobility, bilateral agreements, and questions related to internationalisation strategy.

In addition to an introduction to the University of Liechtenstein and a brief overview of the country, the discussion also focused on the planned re-entry of Switzerland into the Erasmus+ programme from 2028 and the challenges this may entail.

A particularly impressive highlight is that the University of Basel offers a certificate in intercultural competence for administrative staff—a valuable tool for promoting international collaboration and cultural understanding in the higher education context.

The visit provided a meaningful opportunity for networking and open dialogue on current developments in international higher education. The International Office team of the University of Liechtenstein extends its sincere thanks for the engaging exchange!
