Faculty

Germany and its universities are open to the world. Scholars interested in pursuing their academic work in Germany will find colleagues intrigued by the possibilities of collaboration and a research infrastructure that is both accessible and excellent.

DAAD works to foster connections between scholars and institutions in Canada and their counterparts in Germany by offering a number of programs to strengthen the links between academe in Germany and Canada. These programs support both the activities of individual scholars and post-secondary institutions seeking to strengthen their international ties and details on these opportunities can be found below.
