(Inter-)national networks
forschen@studium is involved in various networks in the field of research-based learning. In Germany, the forschen@studium team is part of the Standing Group on Research-Based Learning (AG Forschendes Lernen) within the dghd (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hochschuldidaktik – German Association for Educational and Academic Staff Development in Higher Education). Internationally, UOL cooperates with the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR, USA), the British Conference on Undergraduate Research (BCUR) and the Australasian Council on Undergraduate Research (ACUR), as well as participating in the digiUR project.
The European Network for Digital Undergraduate Research (digiUR) was conducted between 2021 and 2023 and is considered an example of good practice by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
This strategic partnership (Erasmus+) includes five European universities and two associated organisations. With a focus on innovative practices in the digital era, the common goal is to advance digital undergraduate research in Europe. In the long term, the partnership aims to strengthen the network for undergraduate research in Europe and improve its global integration.

Standing Group on Research-Based Learning
At the yearly dghd (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hochschuldidaktik – German Association for Educational and Academic Staff Development in Higher Education) conference in 2014, fourteen affiliates of ongoing programs and projects – including representatives of the University of Oldenburg – founded the Standing Group on Research-Based Learning (AG Forschendes Lernen, information in German). The activities of this working group are centred around conferences and workshops, as well further work in smaller groups focusing on specific topics.
