On Wednesday, 25 June, Michael Paulus, the new head of the Campus OWL Liaison Office in New York, visited Paderborn University. During a meet & greet, interested parties were able to learn more about the work and services of the liaison office and gain insights into current developments and future plans. Paulus has been head of the liaison office in the USA since February of this year. Prof. Dr. Heike Trautmann, Vice-President for International Relations, greatly appreciates the exchange: "Mr Paulus' visit was an important step towards even closer cooperation, which will be of great value not only to our institutions, but also to the international community. Through the partnership in the Campus OWL network, we are not only promoting exchange and knowledge, but also working together to find solutions to global challenges. In this way, we can enrich the future of our students, staff and the society as a whole."
