What began as a pioneering collaboration has grown into a vibrant, multidisciplinary alliance spanning research, teaching, and exchange across the university. 

As we mark this 30-year milestone, we celebrate not only a rich shared history, but a strategic and forward-looking partnership. Grounded in trust, innovation, and mutual respect, URI and TU Braunschweig are committed to expanding collaboration in research, education, and global engagement—preparing the next generation of globally minded thinkers and leaders.
