In the series "Cooperation in focus," this installment explores a German-Japanese conference on environmental ethics from Christian and Buddhist perspectives. Jun.-Prof. Markus Rüsch (Religious Studies and Japanese Studies) speaks about his collaboration with researchers from Japan, religious concepts of responsibility and interconnectedness, and the significance of multilingual academic exchange beyond English. The piece offers insights into a conference format deliberately conducted in German and Japanese, and into the question of how religious texts and traditions can be translated into lived practice and broader societal debates on environmental responsibility.

The latest instalment in the ‘Focus on Cooperation’ series is devoted to the integrated degree programme run by the Department of German as a Foreign Language (LDaF) in collaboration with Soochow University in Taipei. In this interview, Anna-Luisa Eich (Language Centre, University of Münster) and Assoc. Prof. Hsu Yu-Fang (Institute of German Language and Culture, Soochow University) discuss the partnership, which has been in place since 1995, the day-to-day lives of Taiwanese students during their exchange year in Münster, and the organisational and linguistic challenges of such a long-standing collaboration.
