Abstract
This catalogue of goals and measures for digital internationalisation is a result of the work of the Cluster Digital Internationalisation as part of the Project Digital Transformation Lab for Teaching and Learning, which collected experiences and results from three individual projects (Subprojects (SP): SP9 Digital teaching and learning courses for internationalising the master's complementary studies and the doctoral courses, SP10 DigiCLiL-Exchange and 11 HYLIK) in the Digital Transformation Lab for Teaching and Learning project (DigiTaL), which has been funded by the Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre from 2021 to 2025. The aim of the catalogue is to synthesise experiences from the three projects with different foci on digital internationalisation in order to anchor digital internationalisation more firmly at Leuphana. The catalogue targets three critical objectives in advancing digital internationalisation at Leuphana University: 1. It aims to cultivate a shared understanding of digital internationalisation among all stakeholders at Leuphana, fostering alignment and collaboration. 2. It seeks to empower institutional stakeholders by elucidating the advantages and challenges inherent in virtual exchange and blended learning. This will enable informed decision-making and instil a sense of confidence and capability. 3. The catalogue enhances Leuphana’s ability to integrate digital teaching and learning approaches into its institutional strategy by translating lessons from the Digital Transformation Lab for Teaching and Learning into actionable measures for mainstreaming digital internationalisation and ensuring quality in teaching and learning. By clarifying concepts, outlining benefits and limitations, and providing specific measures, the catalogue facilitates the effective integration of digital internationalisation into the internationalisation strategy of the institution.

Disclaimer: This working paper presents a synthesis of experiences, findings, and recommendations gathered from three subprojects (SP9, SP10, and SP11) within the Digital Transformation Lab for Teaching and Learning (DigiTaL) project at Leuphana University, funded by the Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre from 2021 to 2025. The content of this catalogue reflects the collective work and insights of the Cluster Digital Internationalisation and represents the perspectives and experiences of the project teams involved in these specific initiatives. The goals and measures outlined herein are based on practical project work and are intended to inform and support discussions on digital internationalisation at Leuphana University. This catalogue of goals and measures was presented by Anna Sundermann on 5 November 2024 at the Jour Fixe Studiendekane to the academic deans, the university executive board, and representatives of central university units. The views, recommendations, and conclusions expressed in this working paper are those of the contributing project teams and do not necessarily reflect the official position or policy of Leuphana University. This document serves as a foundation for ongoing dialogue and strategic development regarding digital internationalisation and should be understood as a contribution to institutional discourse rather than as a definitive institutional statement. The working paper is intended to facilitate informed decision-making and encourage constructive engagement with the opportunities and challenges of digital internationalisation across the university community.
