Since 2001, Wissenschaft weltoffen analyses the internationalisation of higher education and science in Germany and around the world. The compact edition of the annual data report contains the latest internationalisation indicators in a visually appealing format. The indicators presented provide information on mobility rates and countries of origin and destination of internationally mobile students in Germany and abroad. They also relate to researcher mobility to and from Germany as well as internationalisation structures in German higher education. The indicators presented are based on international data published by the OECD and UNESCO, national data from the Federal Statistical Office and the findings of own surveys.

This study investigates the diversity of national scholarly journal publishing ecosystems in seven countries across Europe and Latin America: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Finland, Mexico, Poland, and Türkiye. It challenges the common perception that global scholarly publishing is dominated by international commercial publishers by examining national publishing structures beyond English speaking contexts.

This short summarising article highlights some key findings of a study on the impact of digitalisation on the internationalisation policies and practices of German higher education institutions (HEIs). It examines the evolving landscape of virtual internationalisation (VI) within HEIs, drawing on findings from the INDISTRA project and the 6th Global Survey of the International University Association (IAU). Prompted by accelerated digitalisation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the study investigates strategies, drivers, priorities, and challenges associated with VI.

The study investigates the impact of student employment on the post-graduation employment and salaries of university graduates in 13 European countries. We use a unique and rich dataset of European graduates from the 2017 and 2021 cohorts, which allows us to account for potential selection on observables using OLS with entropy balancing weights and address potential selection on unobservables using an IV approach and the Oster test. In addition, we test human capital versus job-market signaling explanations for the returns to student employment by comparing returns for self-employed and employed graduates, as well as by examining how returns to student work experience evolve over time.
