Funding granted by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) allows us to award up to 17 scholarships to alumni / alumnae of German universities. Alumni / Alumnae are people from outside Germany who as students, graduates, researchers or lecturers have received a degree at a German University or have studied, conducted research or worked at a German University at least for three months and who are now outside of Germany. Scholarships cover the costs of travel (economy / 2nd class, no taxi), accommodation (12 nights) and meals (11 days). They do not cover participation fees. To apply for a DAAD-Scholarship, a well written application (500-700 words) in German or English has to be submitted as a file via ConfTool.
