Final Call: Apply for Germany Today by March 14!

Don't miss out on this chance! March 14 is the deadline to apply for this summer's Germany Today information tour!

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 participate in the 2016 “Germany Today” Information Tour. With the theme German Higher Education Institutions and Their Training Strategies for a Changing Employment Market, this year’s tour will focus on initiatives to develop professional opportunities at a national and international level while providing an overview of Germany’s higher education landscape. Funding opportunities, internationalization strategies, and the potential for co-operation between German and North American institutions will also be discussed.

Participants will visit institutions in Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Darmstadt and Bonn to engage in active discussion, gain new professional perspectives and share their own expertise. The information tour will take place June 12 – 18, and all program-related costs in Germany (accommodation, domestic travel, most meals) will be covered by DAAD.

For further information, please visit the program site here or contact Ms. Uta Gaedeke at DAAD’s New York Office at 212-758-3223 x209 or at gaedeke@daad.org.


Call for Nominations to DAAD Young Ambassador Program

Are you an undergrad who recently studied abroad in Germany and would like to share your experience? Then the DAAD Young Ambassadors Program is right for you!

DAAD Young Ambassadors are undergraduate students from North America who have recently studied or interned in Germany and are interested in promoting study in Germany at their home institutions. Each year DAAD recruits students from all over the US and Canada to share with their peers what makes Germany a unique and attractive destination for study abroad. Please forward this opportunity to any students who might be interested.


DAAD Young Ambassadors are responsible for organizing at least one event per semester on their campuses. Additionally, they collaborate with their universities' study abroad offices and other German institutions in their areas to inform their fellow students about educational and research opportunities on offer in Germany. DAAD Young Ambassadors are also available for email inquires about their respective German host universities, study abroad programs or student life in Germany. To learn more about the current group of Young Ambassadors, please visit: https://www.daad.org/ya2015-16.

DAAD is currently accepting nominations for the 2016-17 Young Ambassadors from university study abroad and international offices. (Only one student may be nominated per college or university.) The deadline for submissions is May 18, 2016.
