The DAAD is shaping the digital transition

Digitalisation offers opportunities to foster international academic relations, reflecting the DAAD’s objectives: we support the digital transformation of the higher education landscape with projects and funding programmes. We connect teachers and learners as well as researchers across borders, institutions and disciplines. We promote the development of knowledge and skills for digital internationalisation and contribute expertise to educational policy.
