100 Years of DAAD - 100 Years of Change by Exchange

“For 100 years, the DAAD has been promoting the international exchange of students, teachers and researchers – a task that is more important today than ever before,” said DAAD President Prof. Dr Joybrato Mukherjee in Bonn. In a world marked by conflicts and international tensions, the DAAD creates space for dialogue and academic cooperation. “Especially in geopolitically turbulent times, the academic networks created by the work of the DAAD are indispensable,” Mukherjee added.

“For us in Germany, a functioning academic cooperation area is essential. International academic exchange strengthens our innovative power and secures the conditions for our prosperity, for example by attracting international specialists. International scientific cooperation is also crucial if we are to meet the enormous challenges of the 21st century and shape the coming decades successfully and peacefully on this one planet we all share,” Mukherjee stressed.
