I²P² Content - What it's all about:
The International Interdisciplinary Partnership Program (I²P²) is based on cooperation in interdisciplinary and intercultural teams. Whilst working alongside international students from our partner universities across the world participating students also take part in applied challenges and case studies to hone in on practical experience in international companies.
We aim to break down barriers some might perceive with working in an international company or environment and ultimately want to enable every one of our participants to grow by learning, seeing and EXPERIENCING other cultures and subjects!
