International Research Universities Network

5 Year Anniversary

On May 11, 2012 IRUN celebrated its 5th Anniversary at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. In the following video you can get an impression of what IRUN has and will be about:

IRUN and the University of Münster

Nowadays international networks play a major part in decision-making processes in and outside Europe. When making an application for European subsidies for framework programmes, for example, such networks are a paramount importance. Moreover, participation in a network is also essential with a view to future developments in respect of international accreditation and reviews.

Münster University therefore became a member of the International Research Universities Network, IRUN, an international network of broad-based research universities, which was initiated by Radboud University Nijmegen. The universities participating in the Network are well known for the international quality of their research and education, and are strongly motivated to improve that quality even further.

Objectives

The aim of IRUN is to further improve the quality of research and teaching at the universities involved. Within the network, the exchange of researchers, lectures and students is encouraged and facilitated. This may lead to joint curriculum development and joint degree programmes for Master’s students and doctoral candidates. Furthermore, the network serves as a platform for joint conferences, symposiums and seminars.
