Bielefeld University is part of the NEOLAiA network, an association of nine young, dynamically developing higher education institutions in various European regions beyond the metropolises. With a regional focus, NEOLAiA aims to create an open and inclusive educational and social environment that sponsors equity at the university and in European society as a whole.

Students and teachers from Bielefeld share their international experiences gained during their NEOLAiA stays at European partner universtities - such as Focus Academies, Summer schools or Blended intensive programmes.
NEOmentor Week at Bielefeld University combines accessibility, diversity and mentoring
The Diversity and Inclusion Work Package makes its second consecutive appearance
Three weeks in Sweden, meeting new people, gaining fascinating insights into robotics and a day trip to Stockholm: for Tilman, a student at Bielefeld University, taking part in an international summer school was a special part of his studies.
The NEOLAiA Alliance took part in the EAIE Conference in Glasgow from 8 to 11 September, the largest European conference on internationalisation in higher education.


Within the Alliance, Bielefeld University coordinates the topic area "Inclusion and Diversity" and thus Work Package 3 "Diversity & Inclusion". The heads of the work package are Professor Dr Michaela Vogt and Dr Amelie Labusch.
