Ready for the Future – The Reorganisation of the DAAD

Dear members, partners and Friends of the DaaD,The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is the organisation of German institutions of higher education and their student bodies, dedicated to internationalising German academia. Our organisation provides students, researchers and teachers access to the best study and research opportunities available through a wide range of schol-arship programmes. We promote transnational cooperation and partnerships between universities and serve as the “National Agency for EU Higher Education Cooperation”. The DAAD thereby supports the German federal government’s foreign cultural and educational policy goals, its national science policy and its development coop-eration aims.

The DAAD has adopted a new strategy to successfully meet the chal-lenges in the dynamic field of international higher education in the coming years. In line with this strategy, we have restructured our internal organisation to address the tasks which lie before us.

On the following pages, we present the “new DAAD”. We look for-ward to continuing our successful cooperation with you in the years to come.

Ready for the Future

We draw our specific regional and thematic expertise from our global DAAD network, broad DAAD portfolio and everyday work in international projects. Our reorganisation will now allow us to bundle, share and provide this valuable expertise even more inten-sively in the future – for the benefit of our members, German universities and their student bodies, and cultural, educational and development policy decision-makers.

What has changed?We wish to provide our members, sponsors, funding recipients, and our national and international partners with even better service than they have been accustomed to in the past. Our strategic aims are now reflected in the organisation of the DAAD:

■ All of the individual scholarship programmes are now bundled into in a single Scholarships department.

■ The projects department will now oversee all partnership and cooperation programmes, infrastructural higher education funding and transnational education programmes.

■ The new Strategy department is responsible for the ongoing strategic development of the DAAD and for providing expertise in the field of international higher education cooperation.

■ All public relations and marketing activities are now combined in the Communications department.

■ The national agency for eu Higher education Cooperation will continue operating as a separate department.

■ All units will be supported by the Central administration.

What do we hope to achieve? By restructuring our administrative processes, we are now in a better position to carry out our two core tasks more professionally and efficiently: first, providing scholarships to the best students, gradu-ates, doctoral candidates and researchers, and second, promoting higher education partnerships and infrastructural programmes. As in the past, we have maintained a regional focus of our pro-grammes; both the Scholarships and projects departments include divisions and sections according to geographic region. By achieving a higher degree of standardisation and efficiency in the adminis-tration of our programmes, we hope to provide better quality, greater transparency and an even higher degree of satisfaction to our customers.
