Internationales Office of BMBF

The International Bureau (IB) has been commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to strengthen the international ties of German universities, research institutes and enterprises with the ultimate goal of building competencies and fostering competitive advantages for industry and the research community in Germany in the areas of research and innovation.

In doing so, the International Bureau is making an important contribution to cultivating an international dimension within the research programmes of the BMBF.

The IB contributes to the implementation of the Federal Government's High-Tech Strategy and the Strategy of the Federal Government for the Internationalization of Science and Research, which was initiated by the BMBF.

The IB sees itself as a service provider for the BMBF, or rather a service provider for the German science community on behalf of the BMBF.

Its responsibilities are:

Supporting the ministry in planning and implementing international agreements and cooperation programmes
Observing relevant international developments in the areas of research and innovation policy
Advising and supporting stakeholders in the German scientific landscape in opening up opportunities for international networking and advertising Germany as an excellent place for science, research and innovation
Contributing to the strategic development of the strategic dimension of the European Research Area

In dialogue with the research divisions of the BMBF and their project management organisations, the IB initiates cooperation on research topics with a high policy priority with competent partners in a variety of countries.

The IB possesses detailed knowledge of the capacities for cooperation in other countries as well as the legal and political framework for cooperation. Moreover, it maintains contact with relevant organisations abroad as well as with German organisations active in cooperation at the international level. The IB provides BMBF funding to German universities, research institutes and small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) for investigating the potential for cooperation with partners abroad and for the preparation of projects involving international cooperation.
