The global scope of SCRIPTS’ research agenda makes internationalization one of our core principles. We strive to provide an environment where excellent research is enriched by international exchange and a plurality of perspectives. This happens on the one hand through collaborative activites with the aim of advance comparative and (trans-)regionally grounded inquiry. On the other hand, we want to welcome and engage with scholars from regions and communities underrepresented in global academia, paving the way for long-term collaboration beyond established academic centres.

Our Measures

Internationalization at SCRIPTS connects research, mobility, and institutional partnerships across projects and career stages. It supports schemes that bring international scholars into the Cluster, enable SCRIPTS researchers to work across institutional and regional contexts, and create spaces for sustained collaboration through workshops, fellowships, and joint research initiatives.

By linking project-based funding, visiting positions, and regional activities, internationalization facilitates long-term cooperation, strengthens existing partnerships, and supports new research collaborations. Its activities are closely aligned with the Cluster’s research goals and contribute to building durable academic networks beyond individual projects and funding cycles.
