The DFG-network Cosmopolitan Communication Studies has recently pointed out the deficits in international and transnational orientation in academic research and teaching in the academic community in Germany. Hence, neither do cosmopolitan structures nor cosmopolitan culture exist to an extent that would allow a sustainable learning process from international/transcultural perspectives. To identify and assess efforts for a “deep” internationalization in everyday academic action, the network will get in dialogue with researchers from communication studies communities from various parts of the world.
