Export control, academic freedom, and in-depth review procedure
The Department of International Affairs helps Universität Hamburg researchers by minimizing the risk of and providing a sound basis for international cooperation. In 2020, Universität Hamburg’s Executive University Board resolved to establish a review process for international cooperation. The University Administration will review funding applications and cooperation agreements with international partners with regard to the upholding of academic freedom and the requirements of the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA). If cooperation topics are relevant to further control rights issues, and if the cooperating institution is located in a country that the Academic Freedom Index (AFI) has listed as restricting academic freedom, an in-depth review procedure will be initiated. Both the first and the in-depth review will be conducted within strictly defined parameters.
Universität Hamburg academics participating in a research exchange will receive the following benefits:
- Continuous remuneration during stay abroad at a partner institution (academics funded by third parties must clarify this with the respective funding authority)
- Guests receive accommodation worth approx. ZAR 9,000 (around 600€)
- Travel subsidy paid by Universität Hamburg
After completion of the exchange, participants are required to hand in a report.
