The annual blended learning seminar International Research Project, gives students from currently five countries the opportunity to gain experience in virtual collaboration. The learning journals kept during the course reflect the opportunities and challenges of such a format as perceived by the students. The presentation offers solutions in the form of recommendations for action and shows why collaboration is worthwhile.

The university-wide platform is designed to digitally support students' practical experiences along the student life cycle. The aim is to develop suitable career perspectives. Information on internships is displayed transparently and the assessment of one's own abilities and attitudes is promoted by documenting and reflecting on one's own experiences. The low-threshold exchange with peers, alumni and potential employers is facilitated.
