Transparency and Dialog
Dear reader,
The disastrous earthquake and the subsequent
tsunami in Japan in March 2011
sadly had an impact on our Faculty, too.
Just prior to the catastrophe we had
signed a teaching and research cooperation
agreement with the Graduate
School of Economics and Management
of the University of Tohoku in Sendai,
Japan. To support our new partner university
in this difficult period, the Exe cu -
tive Board and the International Office
of the University of Paderborn and the
German Academic Exchange Service
(DAAD) made it possible to considerably
raise the number of scholarshipassisted
places for exchange students
from the University of Tohoku. We were
delighted to welcome more than 20 students
from Tohoku at the beginning of

our Faculty for a one-year exchange.
However, internationalization was not
the only successful venture on the
Faculty’s agenda. Its many efforts to
promote a successful transfer between
theory and practice continued, one of
the results being a series of third partyfunded
projects. The research being
conducted at the Faculty, which is both
theoretical and applied, receives a regular
boost in the shape of our Faculty
Research Seminars on current topics
and our productive workshops, many
of which involve several departments
across the Faculty. These events are
an ideal opportunity, for instance, for
Faculty members to network and discuss
the many research activities that

We are particularly excited about our
next Faculty Research Workshop in
September 2012 to which all research
staff in the Faculty have been invited.
For some time now the Faculty has been
preparing for the increased intake of
undergraduates expected as a result of
the reduction in school years in many
federal states. Also, several academic
positions have been successfully filled,
and more appointments will be made
in time for the 2013 winter term. Until
then, the Faculty departments will have
to squeeze up to some extent: construction
on Building Q began in February
2012 and, once work is finished in the
summer of 2013, the new building will
be home to all departments.
