In 2010/2011, Universität Hamburg took part in the Internationalization audit conducted by the German Rectors' Conference (HRK). In December 2012, the German Rectors' Conference awarded the University a certificate.
The Department of International Affairs oversaw the audit, although numerous projects were interdisciplinary in nature and required the support of other administrative offices. In 2014, the University will once again take part in the audit.
