The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is expanding its support for German universities in the support and integration of international students. The "Combined Scholarship and Support Programme (STIBET)" now provides around 14 million euros in funding from the Federal Foreign Office. For the first time, the programme also includes one million euros in funding for activities against anti-Semitism and racism.
As a centre of research, Germany attracts scientists from all over the world: Together with the United Kingdom, Germany ranks second in the world for international academic employees. In a recent study, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has now analysed the paths taken by international researchers from postdoc to professorship in Germany.
The DAAD in Kenya and the Regional Office for East Africa in Nairobi can look back on an impressive record. In the last 50 years, around 18,000 students and researchers from Kenya and at least 45,000 from the countries of East Africa have been supported. More than 400 guests celebrated the anniversary in Nairobi in September 2023 in the presence of the DAAD Secretary General, Dr. Kai Sicks at a regional alumni meeting and a science forum followed by a reception.
Every year, the heads of the DAAD's external network come to Bonn in the summer to exchange ideas with their colleagues at headquarters and also with each other, to discuss the latest developments at the DAAD and in the six departments, and at the same time to report on their work and the framework conditions in their countries and regions.
We are pleased to inform you that the DAAD Nairobi Office offers face to face consultation hours every Wednesday, 10 am to 12 pm EAT.
Also, our regular virtual visiting hours remain; every Thursday from 10:00 am to 11:00 am EAT. Web Seminars also remain as scheduled.
In the eyes of the DAAD, the end of a funding period marks the beginning of a long-standing relationship with us. We aim to stay in touch with our alumni as well as help you get to know one another through a serious of programmes and activities. We also support you in setting up regional DAAD alumni clubs and other forms of networking opportunities.
