The "Dialogue on Innovative Higher Education Strategies" (DIES) programme uses training courses, dialogue events and collaborations to support universities in developing and emerging countries in professionalising institutional management processes, aligning training courses with international quality standards and expanding research capacities.

Moreover DIES-alumni are supported to pass on their acquired knowledge which furthers multiplication on a national level. Grounding on the results and experiences gained in higher education management within the framework of the DIES programme, DAAD uses its expertise in the fields of quality assurance and qualification frame in the EU funded projects HAQAA II and SHARE.

The DIES programme is jointly coordinated by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the German Rectors‘ Conference (HRK) and funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
