To improve international relations and bilateral research cooperations between German and foreign universities, the DAAD supports exchanges of scientists and academics from partner countries. The basis of these exchanges are cultural exchange programmes and bilateral agreements with foreign partner organisations.

What can be funded?
Research stays at state or state-recognised institutions of higher education or non-university research institutes in Germany.
Funding may only be claimed once within three years.
Lecture tours or visits to congresses are not funded.
