Description:
1. DAAD: Bilateral DAAD Programmes for Co-operative Research Grants
Objective: These programmes aim to intensify academic collaborative research
projects by promoting the project-related exchange of academics. These
are bilateral programmes agreed between the DAAD in Germany and partner
organisations in a number of countries. Support is given to persons participating
in specific academic collaborative research projects. Proposals based
purely on study and training are not funded. By contrast, particular importance
is attached to the continuing education and training and specialisation
of young academics working within the framework of research collaboration
projects.
Duration: The overall support period of a collaborative project should
according to the different programme conditions not exceed 2 resp. 3 years.
Value: Support is only offered to fund specifically person-related additional
costs in as far as these arise through the exchange of participating scientists,
scholars, graduates and - for some countries - advanced students (Diploma-level
candidates). Diploma-level candidates can only be included in the support
framework, if their final dissertation forms part of the project. For

3. DAAD: Helmholtz-DAAD Fellowships
Objectives: The special programme jointly run by the Helmholtz Association
and the DAAD is intended for highly-qualified foreign doctoral and
postdoctoral students. Helmholtz-DAAD Fellowships offer excellent young
scientists and researchers from all around the world the opportunity
to do research at a Helmholtz Centre in Germany. The Helmholtz Association
is Germany?s largest research organisation with an annual budget of around
2.2 billion euros and 24,000 staff concentrated in 15 research centres.
The Helmholtz Association works on solving the grand challenges which
face society, science and industry and concentrates on researching systems
of great complexity in the following six research fields: Earth and
Environment, Energy, Health, Key Technologies, Structure of Matter, Transport
and Space. Helmholtz-DAAD Fellows carry out research in one of these
fields and use the outstanding scientific infrastructure which the Helmholtz
Centres maintain. Helmholtz-DAAD Fellowships are awarded just once
a year. The respective offer will be published usually in September under
"Current Offer" on the homepages of the DAAD and the Helmholtz-Association.

to DAAD Head Office in Bonn directly. The Leibniz Association comprises
84 non-university research institutes and service facilities for research.
Leibniz Institutes work interdisciplinary and combine basic and applied
research of superior significance. They are obliged to scientific
excellence. Detailed information about the Leibniz Association and all
its institutes are available at the website
www.leibniz-gemeinschaft.de.

6. DAAD: Practical Traineeship for Foreign Students of Natural and
Technical Sciences, Agriculture and Forestry
Objective: Practical training placements for students of the above mentioned
subjects are arranged by the International Association for the Exchange
of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE). Placements are, however,
only available to countries with a National IAESTE Committee. Within
the DAAD, unit 225 is the German National IAESTE Committee. Duration:
Usually, traineeships are two to three months in duration with various
firms, institutions of higher education and research institutes. In individual
cases, traineeships of extended duration can be arranged. Students
of the stated subjects interested in a training placement in Germany should
address the National IAESTE Committee in their home country. Addresses
of the National IAESTE Committees and further information are available
at
www.iaeste.org. For details

with its former one-year scholarship holders and with former scholarship
holders who had studied in East Germany (GDR) for at least one year. Former
scholarship holders meeting these requirements can apply for re-invitation
to Germany to complete a research or work project at a state higher education
institution or non-university research institute.
Duration: Depending on the applicant's work schedule, the research stay
can last between one and three months. DAAD support for a research
or work stay can only be awarded once in any three-year period. For details

8. DAAD: Research Grants for Doctoral Candidates and Young Academics
and Scientists
Objective: Research grants provide young foreign academics and scientists
with an opportunity to carry out a research project or a course of continuing
education and training at a German higher education institution or non-university
research institute. Research grants can be used to carry out research
projects at a German higher education institution for the purpose of gaining
a doctorate in the home country .
Duration: The length of the grant is set by the grant committee at
the selection session. Depending on the project in question and on the
applicant's work schedule, grants can be paid generally for between

9. DAAD: Study Visits/Study Seminars and Practicals by Foreign Students
Objective: The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) funds Study Visits
/ Study Seminars and Practicals in Germany by groups of foreign students
headed by a university teacher. The programme aims to provide students
with subject-related knowledge by arranging appropriate visits, tours
and information meetings (Study Visits) or by organising subject-related
seminars and practical courses (e.g. specialist courses, block seminars,
workshops) at the invitation of a German university. This university is
also responsible for organising practical courses with universities, companies
and, possibly, public institutions (Study Seminars and Practicals) , facilitate
meetings with German students, academics and researchers to establish
and maintain contacts between German and foreign universities , give students
a greater understanding of and insight (regional and area studies) into
economic, political and cultural life in Germany. The part must not make
up more than one third of the whole stay .In the case of Study Seminars
and Practicals, the programme strives for reciprocity, although this
is not a condition for the award of funding. This means that funding can
initially be provided for visits in one direction only. For details
