Notes for project funding (10.01.2023)

We would like to inform our member higher education institutions and project leaders that the previous Corona special regulations for project funding ("Reallocations to digital measures due to cancellation of originally planned measures" and "Use of STIBET funds for quarantine costs of foreign students") have lost their validity as of 31.12.2022. The regulations on "Online start of measures with later transition to physical mobility" will end on 31.03.2023.

Please take note of these deadlines when implementing your projects, as if the regulations are applied beyond the deadline, the DAAD will have to demand repayment of the related funds.
