The Social Work Faculty of Ostfalia, in the basic course of study Social Work, since 25 years realizes regular international seminars in the field of organization of social work in Europe (Germany/ France/ Italy).

In addition, seminars are held on segregation processes in schools and neighborhoods, school social work, networks and educational landscapes, as well as on migration, flight and integration, all of which benefit from the findings of research projects conducted by this faculty. 

Ostfalia has an outstanding expertise due to seven focus research areas and takes part in many international research and other projects. It cooperates with both companies and the public sector. The projects develop new, broad-based solutions for regional and national needs.
