German Academic Exchange Service
© DAAD???aural:Bildende???
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is one of the world’s largest and most respected intermediary organisations in the field of education, science, culture, and research. Over the years, scores of foreign students, teachers, researchers and scientists have been able to gain valuable experience through the support rendered by the DAAD. However, there are also many other aspects of the work of the organisation. The 200 and more programmes with which the DAAD pursues the above-detailed objectives range from short-term exchanges for research or teaching purposes to doctoral scholarships lasting several years for graduates from developing countries, from information visits by delegations and vice-chancellors of foreign universities to the long-term regional programmes conceived to establish efficient higher education systems in developing countries. For more than 75 years now, the DAAD has been committed to advancing academic relations between Germany and other countries and to promoting the fields of education, science, culture and research.
In developing countries, the DAAD supports the founding of universities and the training of executive personnel. We offer versatile funding programmes for partner universities and promote the creation of high quality and permanently self-sufficient higher education structures in developing and transitional countries. The programmes for those countries – offered by the Development Cooperation Department of the DAAD – are focused on human and institutional capacity building.
