• IS:link is not only dedicated to promoting the international exchange of information systems students by providing them with individual support and guidance. We are also committed to fostering international academic cooperation between the participating universities in terms of teaching and research.

• Participating in IS:link connects your organization with a prestigious circle of partner institutions around the globe without the need to establish and maintain contacts with each member organization.

• IS:link students and scholars bring an international flavor to your campus. The opportunity to live, study, and work with foreign students, as well as research fellows, gives your students the opportunity to gain important intercultural experiences and cultivates an appealing internationalism at your university.

• Attractive partners improve your institution’s appeal and allow you to make contact with excellent scholars from around the world.
