With the establishment of a new Bonn-St Andrews Joint Appointment scheme the strategic partnership between the Universities of Bonn and St Andrews has reached a new level of cooperation. Through joint appointments, the two internationally renowned universities create added value for both institutions that is greater than the sum of its parts. The first four researchers in the scheme have now started into their three-year positions. The next round of joint appointments is imminent. St Andrews has had a strategic partnership with the University of Bonn since 2018; the two institutions have been linked as "Sister Universities" since 1911. The programme supports colleagues at both institutions to commit an additional 20% of their work time to conducting research and teaching at the other university.
