The "International Marketing for Studies and Research" office within the DAAD began its work in 2001. This office acts both for the Higher Education Consortium "GATE-Germany" and for the secretariat of the Joint Initiative on "International marketing to promote study, research and training in Germany".

The "GATE-Germany" consortium was jointly established with the HRK. Its mission is to position the study and research programmes offered by its 112 members (universities, science and research organisations, and other education providers) in the international market. Its action fields include marketing initiatives abroad (organisation of exhibition stands, information and promotional tours, media campaigns, etc.) as well as continuing training seminars for marketing officers from universities in Germany; in addition, GATE-Germany develops and produces print media, CD-ROMs and websites. DAAD Vice-President Professor Max Huber, who is simultaneously the Federal Government Commissioner for International Higher Education Marketing, chairs the consortium.

"GATE-Germany" sees itself as part of the Joint Initiative on "International marketing to promote study, research and training in Germany", also launched in 2001. The federal government, the federal states, intermediary organisations, education, science and research institutions, and German business and industry have joined forces in a global advertising campaign run under the slogan of "Hi! Potentials - International Careers Made in Germany". This is achieved by organising a series of international events in co-operation with "GATE-Germany" and the key German science and research institutions and funding organisations. These events are accompanied by a media campaign aimed at presenting a coherent image abroad in order to raise the international appeal of the study and research programmes offered in Germany.

The creation of a world wide network of DAAD Information Centres (ICs) plays an increasingly important role here. These ICs are run by Lektors, and provide information and advice locally, organise events, including larger education fairs, the latter together with the "International Higher Education Marketing for Education and Research Office"; they also make and maintain contacts with the media and with other multipliers and disseminators, including, in particular, former DAAD scholarship holders.
