Germany - Duesseldorf Local Name: Heinrich-Heine-Universität

As a community of teachers and students, in the tradition of European universities and in the spirit of Heinrich Heine, the University of Duesseldorf offers education in an atmosphere of tolerance, promoting respect for minorities and coexistence across national borders. Since the University of Duesseldorf is deeply ingrained in this European cultural and educational tradition, one of our missions as a university is scientific research and instruction within a network of international cooperation. Though science is international, the sharing of innovative scientific research is currently organized on a national level. On the other hand, the University of Duesseldorf is now actively involved in structural reforms necessary to create a pan-European educational system that could be extended worldwide, which will have beneficial results in accelerating the speed at which scientific research is shared.
