Apply for Germany Today Information Tour 2016

DAAD invites representatives from universities, research institutions, and funding agencies in the United States and Canada, as well as colleagues from the fields of education policy and politics to join us for our "Germany Today" Information Tour 2016. This year’s trip will focus on the initiatives of German Higher Education institutions to develop professional opportunities for its graduates at a national and international level. On this trip, the group will visit institutions in Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Darmstadt and Bonn. The program will be in English. Program-related costs in Germany (accommodation, domestic travel, most meals) will be covered by DAAD.

North American participants in this program are typically senior administrators at leading universities in the U.S. and Canada (such as vice presidents for international affairs or heads of international offices), policy makers in federal and state/provincial governments or associations, and other experts in the higher education field.

DAAD’s information tour "Germany Today 2016" is designed to give participants both a broader overview of Germany’s higher education landscape and a more in-depth understanding of recent developments within individual institutions. Areas of discussion include funding opportunities, internationalization strategies, and the potential for co-operation between German and North American institutions.
