The KU is strengthening its international relations with Israel's Ben Gurion University (BGU) by intensifying exchange programs at staff level. This week, Shani Warshawsky from BGU stayed at the KU in Eichstätt as part of an Erasmus exchange program.

Warshawsky is a coordinator at the School of Public Health at the Faculty of Health Sciences at BGU. She is currently visiting Germany to establish contacts in the fields of social work, social and health education, nursing sciences and to exchange experiences with setting up a double-degree program.

At staff mobility level, the economist Yaron Lahav had already visited the KU Ingolstadt School of Management (WFI) last year. In return, Jessica Hofmacher from KU's International Office traveled to BGU for a week to raise the KU's profile there. In June, the KU expects to welcome two more colleagues from BGU's Center for Pre-Academic Studies. They, too, are primarily interested in exchanging experiences and doing work shadowing. Business administration professor Yaron Lahav will come to the WFI once again this July for a teaching stay.

The KU had held a so-called "Memorandum of Understanding" with BGU since 2018 – the partnership goes back, among other things, to personal contacts of Prof. Dr. André Habisch. KU students from the Business Administration and International Relations departments frequently spend a semester abroad at BGU.
