Penn State significantly increased its ties to Germany last week with the signing of a memorandum of understanding with two German universities,
Christian-Albrechts-Universtat zu Kiel and Philipps-Universtat Marburg.
These universities join eight others around the globe that Penn State considers to be key linkages for the strategic development of comprehensive, multi-disciplinary and multi-functional relationships. The German university partnerships will include faculty, staff and student exchanges and joint research and outreach programs.
Building on the success of previous exchange programs with both universities, the new linkages were made official in separate signing ceremonies in Germany.
