To support advanced academic research and training projects, promote international scientific exchange, and help young foreign academics and scientists complete doctoral or postdoctoral work at German universities or research institutes.
Mobility type: Bilateral Exchange Programs: Programs like the DAAD Bilateral Exchange of Academics and project-based personnel exchange (PPP) calls are strictly bilateral. They require matching applications from both Germany and the partner country to fund travel and living costs.
Individual Research Grants: Programs like standard DAAD Doctoral or Postdoctoral Research Grants are individual awards. They do not require a formal inter-governmental bilateral agreement, but they do require an invitation or host arrangement from a German institution.
Project Coordinator:
