Abstract
This paper describes the context for and developments related to the
internationalisation of higher education in Germany. Considerable
mobility of students and scholars already exists, much of it taking
place without special public financial support. Nonetheless, more
needs to be done to encourage greater mobility. In this connection,
Germany makes available financial support for those participating
in foreign study or research. More recently, there has been a trend
toward support for groups rather than individual students, for a
more intensive lsquoprestructuringrsquo of the stay abroad and a
stronger international dimension in larger scientific projects. Both
financial support and favourable conditions are seen as necessary
for programmes aimed at promoting effective exchanges. The central
need, in the face of limited resources, is to develop and implement
the most effective ways to bring about internationalisation in systems
of higher education.
