Cooperation Programmes and Funding

German universities, like most universities around the world, maintain a broad network of international partnerships. The DAAD supports such international partnerships through a number of schemes that aim to foster cooperation among higher education institutions.

University Cooperation

Cooperation between foreign universities and German higher education institutions (HEI) include the academic exchange of students and/or professors, as well as regular scientific projects.
