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 the “Germany Today” Information Tour 2025. DAAD’s Information Tour “Germany Today” is designed to give participants a broad overview of Germany’s higher education landscape. This includes:
- An overview of Germany’s higher education and research systems
- An update on current developments, innovative projects, and structural reforms
- Details about BA and MA programs, as well as PhD training at various institutions
- Information on funding opportunities for academic exchange and institutional cooperation
The theme of this year's tour is the strengthening of exchange and networking between the higher education systems in Germany and North America. Global challenges such as energy supply, climate change, urban development, and health policy issues can only be addressed through international academic collaboration and exchange. The tour offers the chance to explore the broad spectrum of German scientific institutions, including universities in Hamburg, Kiel, Lübeck and Berlin, which are notable for both their international cooperation and their integration into their respective local communities.
Applicants should be U.S./Canadian citizens or permanent residents, possess a demonstrated interest in Germany and transatlantic cooperation, and hold a relevant professional position.
The application is due on March 23rd, and is attached below. Please contact Uta Gaedeke at DAAD’s New York Office at gaedeke@daad.de for further information.
