What is DAAD and what does it do?
DAAD, or the German Academic Exchange Service (in German = Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst) was founded in Germany in 1925. Today, it is the largest funding organization in the world supporting the international exchange of students and scholars. Currently, 229 universities and 125 higher education organizations are members of the DAAD network. In general, DAAD exchange and scholarship programs are open to students of all academic fields and countries, including Canada. In addition to individual scholarships, grants are available to support institutional cooperation, and beyond this, DAAD supports universities through the provision of information, guidance, and marketing services. On our German website, you can find all relevant information for an academic stay in Germany: www.daad.de
Information, Guidance and Scholarships for Study and Research in Germany!
Marketing, information, and guidance are also part of the duties of the regional office for North America, located in New York (www.daad.org) and the DAAD Information Centre in Toronto, Canada. The DAAD regional office in New York is responsible for the administration of all scholarship programs for Canadian and American citizens, as well as international students studying at Canadian or American institutions.The DAAD Information Centre Toronto (daadca@daad.org) provides information to those students and researchers who are considering studying or conducting research in Germany.
