The Hochschule Niederrhein's (HSNR) internationalization strategy was developed in 2022 and 2023 as part of a participatory university-wide process involving all status groups. The initial situation was analyzed and goals, measures, resource requirements and priorities for individual activities were derived in five workshops with the participation of lecturers, staff and students. External experts and regional stakeholders were also involved throughout the entire process. As a result, three fields of action and three cross-cutting areas were identified, which set the framework for the future strategic direction of the HSNR.

The Hochschule Niederrhein's University Development Plan (HEP) sets out the strategy for the next five years.

The Hochschule Niederrhein's development plan is based on four planning principles that outline its main goals for the next five years. In particular, three external framework conditions are taken into account, which - it is assumed - will have an impact on the Niederrhein region: Climate change, demographic development and digitalization.

On 136 pages, The Hochschule Niederrhein provides information on ongoing research projects in the period from summer 2014 to winter 2017. In these two and a half years, a total of 498 research and development projects with a total volume of 52.2 million euros were acquired. In 2017, The Hochschule Niederrhein set a new record with 19 million euros in third-party funding for research and transfer - that is as much as in 2014, 2015 and 2016 combined.
