The Global Classroom initiative takes a class that is being taught or in the planning of being taught at Universität Hamburg and pairs it with a complmentary course at Indiana University. Faculty of both institutions will continue to teach their respective course independently, but will collaborate with their counterparts to design a project that requires students from both institutions to work together. That work will take place virtually. Significant student-to-student interaction is required throughout the duration of the course.

The initiative is open to all topics.

For sample projects please visit the IU Global Classroom website.

In general, Universität Hamburg will match IU funding of up to EUR 3,000 for UHH faculty members in case of successful application. Universität Hamburg reserves the right not to co-fund IU-funded projects and vice versa.

Funding use:

• Project-related travel
• Educational resources, materials, licenses
• Other costs incurred in implementing and delivering the course
• Subsequent project in relation to the Global Classroom
• As a general rule, funding cannot be spent for personnel costs (student employees / assistants, tutors, increasing existing positions in the academic staff). Likewise, approved funds can in general not be taken to other universities (e.g. if the employment relationship changes)

Funding amount:

• Maximum funding amount: generally up to EUR 3,000 per application

Expense claims, reporting:

• UHH applicant handles funding in agreement with the Department of International Affairs at UHH
• Financial regulations at Universität Hamburg apply and matching funds may differ due to these regulations.
