Prof. Dr. Max G. Huber has been DAAD Vice-President since 1 January 1996.
Foreword
Dear Readers,
For the first time, we are presenting you the DAAD 2010 Annual Report in a new design. . We have applied an innovative layout and a modified format to give you an even reader-friendlier and clearer account of last year’s events.
Actually, a new President should really have been telling you about her initial period with the DAAD here. But shortly before this report was published, Professor Sabine Kunst, who had been elected President in the summer of 2010, had to resign from this office again. The reason . was the good, albeit unexpected, news that she had been appointed Minister of Science, Research and Culture for the Land of Brandenburg.
So from a staff angle at least, 2011 started as a year of changes for the DAAD, just like what the previous year had turned out to be. For looking back on 2010, one could head it “Farewell and Welcome”. After a serious illness, the then President, Professor Stefan Hormuth, died in February – at a much too early age. The DAAD received expressions of sympathy and marks of respect from all over the world reflecting the skills and considerable personal engagement that Stefan Hormuth had demonstrated in his efforts to foster worldwide exchange and international co-operation. . In his short period of office, he both enriched and shaped the DAAD. His visions and ideas will continue to guide us and serve as a model.
In late June, the DAAD Members’ Assembly elected Professor Sabine Kunst as successor. . Sabine Kunst took up office in July 2010, as the first woman to head the largest organisation . for academic exchange and academic co-operation worldwide. In numerous talks and on . several inaugural visits, she created even more publicity for the DAAD’s work and intensified

relations with the most important funding bodies and partners. She also set new impulses with . the aid of which we want to develop our support strategy and programme structure together . with our funding bodies. We therefore greatly regret her resignation. The next DAAD Members’ Assembly will be electing a new President in June 2011.
There was a further farewell in September 2010: Having been the DAAD’s General Secretary . for 20 years, Dr. Christian Bode went into retirement. The official farewell ceremony in the “Französischer Dom” (French Cathedral) in Berlin, attended by politicians, national and inter national partners and companions, also recalled Bode’s first years with the DAAD, in which Europe was undergoing radical changes and the borders were opening up for academics from the East . and the West, too. Not only did the DAAD grow considerably during Christian Bode’s period of office, but its mission was significantly broadened as well. The DAAD was transformed from a grants organisation into an agency for the mobility of students, scientists and scholars, graduates and teachers that enhances internationalisation in German higher education. Individual support has been joined by a further important task, that of structural support for higher education institutions and development co-operation. In times of fundamental developments in politics, also in higher education policy, Christian Bode energetically advanced the DAAD and shaped it crucially. . I would once again like to thank him here for his untiring efforts – also on behalf of our members and the DAAD staff.
In October 2010, having worked as Director of Free University Berlin’s Center for International Co-operation, Dr. Dorothea Rüland returned to the DAAD as Dr. Bode’s successor. Thanks . to her wide range of experience as well as her professional knowledge of the DAAD, she has
8
Foreword
brought along important new ideas as well as a valuable “view from the outside”. . I would like to congratulate her on her successful start. We are all looking forward to . further fruitful co-operation.
Looking beyond staff changes, all in all, 2010 was a good year for the DAAD. This was reflected in particular in positive budget developments. Despite the economic crisis and the state of public finance, the budget grew compared with the previous year. Support was provided for 73,660 people, representing a ten-percent increase in scholarship holders. 20 new programmes were announced, many of which are being co-funded by our partners abroad.
It is an important goal of the DAAD to attract foreign students, scientists and scholars who are interested and qualified to German higher education institutions and further boost the inter national dimension of institutions. Cosmopolitan education and international experience is virtually essential for surviving in a globalised world. This is why it is just as important to arouse enthusiasm among young people abroad for our country and win over prospective foreign leadership elites to Germany as partners and friends.
We above all owe the DAAD’s positive developments in 2010 to our funding bodies at home and abroad, first and foremost the Members of the German Federal Parliament and the Representatives of the Federal Government, in particular the Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development. . I would also like to thank our member institutions and student bodies, the members of the Board and the bodies of the DAAD as well as, especially, the professors in the selection committees .

working for the DAAD in an honorary capacity and showing engagement in vouching . for the quality of our decisions. Last but not least, we all owe thanks to all the staff at the . DAAD headquarters and our branch offices, who have demonstrated considerable . personal commitment as well as a richness of ideas in promoting academic exchange . throughout the world.
Thanks to this great support and the trust that our work enjoys worldwide, I feel that . the DAAD is well-prepared to face future challenges.
Wishing you inspiring reading,. Yours,

I. Who we are
I . W H O W E A RE
Change by exchange
“Change by exchange” is the DAAD’s motto, and is also its uppermost goal. For 85 years, the organisation has enabled young academics to gather international experience throughout the world. The awarding of scholarships is just one facet in a wide spectrum: The DAAD promotes the internationalisation of German higher education, strengthens German language and literature studies as well as the German language itself abroad and supports developing countries in establishing efficient higher education institutions. It is an important partner of foreign cultural, science, educational and development policy. The DAAD is a lively community with several participants: scholarship holders from all over the world; alumni taking their experience back home and continuing to maintain a variety of contacts; academics supporting the DAAD in its selection decisions as reviewers at subject level; students and graduates whose representatives are DAAD members and bring their perspective into its activities – and of course the global staff network, many of whom have gathered international experience as scholarship holders or “lectors” (language teachers with significant teaching experience) themselves. Today, the German Academic Exchange Service is the largest funding organisation of its kind worldwide. It contributes to developing the internationalisation of German higher education and research. This makes Germany more broadminded and tolerant, and also more competitive in a globalised world.

Representing German higher education institutions The DAAD was founded on the initiative of a Heidelberg student in 1925, dissolved in 1945 and re-founded as a registered association in 1950. It is maintained as a self-administered organisation of higher education by the higher education institutions and the student bodies. These elect the Executive Committee in the General Assembly at the head of which a President acts in an honorary capacity. The Head Office of the DAAD is in Bonn and has been directed by General Secretary Dr. Dorothea Rüland since 1 October 2010. Furthermore, the DAAD has a representational office in Berlin as well as an office in Brussels. A worldwide network of 14 branch offices and 50 information centres maintain contacts with the most important partner countries on all continents and offers advice locally. In 2010, 234 higher education institutions as well as 124 student representations were members of the DAAD. Also, the Berlin Office at the “Gendarmenmarkt” organises the DAAD’s renowned “Berliner Künstlerprogramm” (BKP – Artistsin-Berlin Programme) which has invited more than a thousand artists, film producers, composers and writers to the city for one year since 1963. The scholarship is awarded by independent juries and is one of the internationally most highly renowned grants for artists. In 1997, Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa was the Artists Programme’s guest; he received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010, and after

Re-founded 60 years ago In 2010, the DAAD celebrated the sixtieth year of being re-founded and its 85th anniversary. Since 1950, it has supported more than 1.6 million academics at home and abroad. Many scholarship holders maintain a relationship with the DAAD all their life. They include academics such as German Physics Nobel Prize laureate Wolfgang Ketterle, environmental activist and Nobel Peace Prize-Winner Wangari Maathai from Kenya, Chile’s ex-President Michelle Bachelet or heute-journal moderator Claus Kleber. The DAAD has steadily increased the number of people it supports: from 426 in 1950 to 73,660 in 2010. Since 1990, the DAAD has been the national agency and information and consulting centre for EU higher education programmes such as ERASMUS and TEMPUS (also see Highlight page 72). This enabled support for an additional 32,226 people in 2010. Owing to the growing number of scholarship holders and projects being supported, the overall number of positions at the Bonn Head Office, the Berlin Office and the branch offices grew to a total . of 828 by the end of 2010. Out of these, 293.5, i. e. around a third, are accounted for by established posts. The remaining 534.5 are project- and third-party-funded positions.

The budget
The DAAD is financed mainly via Federal funding from various ministries, above all the Federal Foreign . Ministry, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development. . By now, the European Union has become the third-largest funding body. Further funds are provided by businesses, organisations and foreign governments. In 2010, the number of scholarship programmes financed either partly or fully by foreign partners increased considerably. The overall budget of the DAAD grew from 348 million euros in 2009 to 384 million euros. Five goals With more than 250 programmes, the DAAD supported over 73,000 Germans and foreigners around the world. The programmes range from the year abroad for young students to doctoral studies, from internships to guest lectureships, and from postgraduate studies for participants from developing countries to the establishment of higher education institutions abroad. The DAAD supports the international activities of higher education institutions with marketing, publications, events and further training and education measures.

II. Our goals
Scholarships for foreigners
With its scholarship programmes for foreigners, the DAAD organises a global competition that takes a couple of thousand of the best students and junior scientists and scholars from all . over the world to German higher education institutions. The undiminished strong response to this programme and the willingness of the applicants to face a sophisticated selection process form an indicator for Germany’s appeal as a centre of study and research. A DAAD scholarship provides the foundations for academic and professional careers while simultaneously creating links with Germany that often shape life in future: Germany forms lasting partnerships and friendships. A worldwide network of academics is created who continue to work with their German host institutions in higher education or research. And last but not least, this is also where development co-operation is performed – through the training of future higher education lecturers and other executives from developing countries.
to attend masters’ programmes addressing prospective executives in economics, administration, politics and the media. Furthermore, the DAAD supports students from developing countries via masters’ and doctoral scholarships in subject areas of relevance to the respective regions, ranging from development economics to Good Governance. Also, what has continued to be popular and proved its worth is awarding scholarships for summer courses at German higher education institutions.
A wide variety of programmes
The scholarships that the DAAD presents to non-German graduates from German schools abroad (including the special upper secondary schools in Central and Eastern Europe) assume a status of their own. The applicants are recommended by their school or by consultants of the “Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen” (Central office for education abroad). The DAAD Selection Committee subsequently chooses excellent graduates from upper secondary schools for full degree courses in Germany. In 2010, the number of scholarship holders rose to just under 500.
The “classical” version of the DAAD scholarship for foreigners has always been the doctoral scholarship. It enables students to conduct research in Germany for subareas of doctoral studies planned in their home countries or even to carry out their entire doctoral studies in Germany. The spectrum is even broader: For example, scholarships are offered for shorter research stays, for postdoctoral academics and
The DAAD is implementing an increasing number of scholarships which are also growing in scale. They are supported by foreign governments or private partner organisations, including the Eastern Europe Programme for social scientists, in collaboration with the Open Society Institute (OSI), which has now been running for ten years. These partners benefit from DAAD expertise as well as from the

Scholarships for Germans
In 2010, a total of 31,613 Ger mans went abroad with DAAD support. This is 25 percent more than in the previous year.
Qualifying German junior researchers and executives in the best places around the world in a spirit of tolerance and cosmopolitanism – this is a leading aspect among the five strategic goals of the DAAD. In 2010, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the European Union invested around 109 million euros in the DAAD’s highly diversified scholarship programme for Germans. At the core of this support are the individual scholarships with which applicants at each . level of training realise a study, research, language or internship stay that they themselves have planned – in any subject, and in any country. Support is available for stays .
There are individual scholarships for any subject and any country. for a limited period as well as complete training phases such as a master’s course. Since 2009, the DAAD has also been assisting academics in attending congresses and taking part in lecture tours. In addition, it runs programmes for particular target groups matching their professions, tailored to countries or to individual outstanding institutions abroad, such as for doctoral students at the European University Institute in Florence or internships with international organisations and EU institutions via the Carlo Schmid Programme.
22
The DAAD supports students who act with an intercultural awareness based on their own experience and have obtained further qualifications on a foreign campus, not only via individual scholarships. Partnership and co-operation programmes between German and foreign higher education institutions are becoming more and more important. For some time now, by far the largest number of stays abroad supported by the DAAD have been running via the European mobility and partnership programme ERASMUS: in 2010, they amounted to around 29,000 German students (studies and internships), more than 2,800 lecturers and over 500 mobile administrative staff. Bilaterally organised “Programme des Projektbezogenen Personalaustauschs” (PPP – . Exchange involving projects), partnerships among higher education institutions with East European countries and developing countries, in the context of “Internationale Studien- und Ausbildungspartnerschaften” (International study and training partnerships) and of “Doppel abschlussprogramme” (Double degree programmes) are further instruments to train students and academics beyond the frontiers . of their home countries. In order to give German students even more encouragement to go on a stay abroad and to make these stays possible, the DAAD launched a new scheme in 2010, the “Programm zur Steigerung der Mobilität von deutschen Studie renden” (PROMOS – Programme to enhance

DAAD is setting special impulses and giving incentives for stays abroad in countries that are not in the focus of German students. In 2010, the number of Germans applying for a scholarship increased once again, by a total of 15 percent compared to the previous year. Thanks to the new BMBF initiative “Bologna macht mobil!” (“Bologna paves the way – Mobility makes the day!”), the DAAD succeeded in significantly strengthening both its individual, structural and partnership programmes and information activities on studying abroad. . The number of Germans supported across all programmes totalled 31,613, a 25 percent increase compared to 2009.

DAAD support for interns
Cooperating with industry is an important aspect in the DAAD’s programme activities. Science and
industry are interested in graduates who are able to move in an international context and have
already gained initial practical experience abroad. Companies regard subject-specific and intercul-
tural skills as important elements of an applicant profile that they are specifically looking for.
The DAAD runs regional and cross-regional pro-
grammes supporting practical training for German and foreign students. In 2010, a total of 3,570 German students received sponsoring for an intern-
ship abroad. The DAAD provides travel allowances for internships outside the EU and short-term scholarships.

and German schools abroad
Each year, the exchange programme of the Inter-
national Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE) enables more
than 1,000 German students – mainly from natural and engineering science disciplines – to gain practical experience in over 80 countries. More
than 1,000 students come from abroad for subject-related internships with IAESTE in German
companies and research institutions. German and foreign students learn how to sensibly combine
theoretical and practical aspects, gain an insight into the culture and language of the respective
27
countries and have an impact beyond their
internships as ambassadors of their country. In the Carlo Schmid Programme for Internships in International Organisations and EU Institutions, the DAAD and the German National Academic
Foundation have been arranging internships for outstanding students and graduates with an
international institution, an EU institution or an international non-governmental organisation
for more than ten years. There, the scholarship
holders get to know problems and work routines
in international administration and can establish initial links. 107 scholarships were awarded in 2010.

Promoting the international dimension of higher education “Bologna macht mobil!” (“Bologna paves the way – Mobility makes the day!”)with this motto, the DAAD sets clear priorities in promoting the international dimension of German higher education in 2010. 15.8 million euros more than in the previous year flowed into various funding lines. A particular focus was put on study courses laying structures that very significantly facilitate mobility with so-called mobility windows. After all, it is the common goal of the DAAD and the BMBF to raise the share of graduates from higher education who have studied or done internships abroad from today’s roughly 30 percent to 50 percent. The DAAD has increasingly promoted international double degree study programmes as well as International Study and Exchange Programmes (ISAP), ensuring full recognition of study periods abroad. In order to enable students to acquire an additional qualification in four-year courses with an integrated year abroad, 42 new study courses were adopted in the “Bachelor Plus” programme. The DAAD already addresses students at very early stages of their studies with information and motivation for studying abroad with the “Go out” campaign. In 2010, the activities were extended, drawing the attention of students at their respective institutions as well as of school-leavers before they start studying to the significance of a stay abroad.
28
Junior researchers looking beyond borders A greater international component and better networking would be desirable in structured postgraduate training, too. This is why the DAAD launched the “International promovieren in Deutschland” (IPID – International doctoral studies in Germany) programme in 2010. From 2010 to 2013, IPID is supporting the establishment of structured doctoral programmes with . an international focus at higher education institutions in Germany with 12.5 million euros. A total of 38 applications have been included . in funding in two project lines. The BMBF-funded specialised programme “Moderne Anwendungen der Biotechnologie – Binationale Nachwuchsgruppen mit China” (Modern applications of biotechnology – binational junior scientist groups with China) . assumes a special status in the support of international junior academics. It is being run for five years and has a funding volume of more than eight million euros. Three German-Chinese and three Chinese-German research teams are working in joint projects, the results of which are to enter publications and patents. New culture of welcome A good integration of foreign guests is an essential prerequisite for the long-term success of internationalisation.

After several years of preparation, the project for a German-Turkish University gained momentum in 2010. On 1 April, the Turkish Parliament passed the Foundation Act with which, among other things, 1,200 staff positions were appointed to the institution. On the recommendation of the Higher Education Council, YÖK, Turkey’s President Abdullah Gül appointed the Founding Vice-Chancellor (Prof. Ziya Sanal). On ¸ 22 October, President Gül and Federal President Christian Wulff jointly unveiled the first stone for the University in the Istanbul suburb of Beykoz. More than

100 officials from German higher education institutions abroad met with decision-makers and higher education representatives at the conference “Hochschulbildung ohne Grenzen” (Higher education without borders). The DAAD provisionally took stock of German participation in “transnational education”. In just a few years’ time, Germany has established itself in this sector with a special model that is oriented on partnerships and supported by consortia of higher education institutions.

Promoting German studies and the German language abroad Excellent German higher education institutions are the best means of promoting German as an academic language.
One of the DAAD’s central goals is to promote German language and literature studies and the German language itself abroad. There are several reasons for this: The DAAD seeks to enhance German as an important lingua franca as well as a cultural and academic language and, via the German language, to stimulate interest in Germany as a cultural nation and a location of industry and science. In 2010, several activities were organised under the umbrella of the campaign “German – Language of Ideas”, run by the Federal Foreign Office. . With the programme “Die deutsche Sprache und ich”, the DAAD addressed its grant-holders: At around 20 events at home and abroad, Alumni or those currently enjoying a scholarship gave accounts of their usually pleasant, sometimes also . unpleasant, and entertaining experience with the German language, some of which even changed their lives. This was done in a video, during a film week, at panel debates, in readings and lectures or in the context of a photo exhibition. Language policy foci
Strengthening the practical relevance of DaF: language training and industry are to cooperate even more closely in future.
In 2010, the DAAD focused on language policy with three high-level panel discussions at international conferences: The Annual Conference of the “Fachverband Deutsch als Fremdsprache” (FaDaF) in May addressed practical relevance and career orientation in the curricula of the subject German as a Foreign Language (DaF). One of the recommendations worked out here was even more intensive co-operation between
34
language training and industry – in the shape of internships or in the combination of DaF and subject education. “Zukunftsmodelle der Germanistik” (Models of tomorrow’s German language and literature studies) were presented at the World Congress of the International Association for Germanic Studies (IVG) in Warsaw in August. German scholars from countries as varied as India, Turkey, Mexico and Poland agreed that three maxims could ensure the future of the subject: diversifying programmes which are . oriented on local demand, ■ a flexible concept for curricula, ■ transdisciplinary and international co-operation. ■
The Conference of German Specialists in Freiburg in December focused on the role of “German in Europe” as well as multilingualism in the practice of European institutions and school curricula. Furthermore, throughout 2010, the DAAD supported 20 annual con gresses of regional German language and literature associations that offer crucial forums in their respective countries for an academic and higher education policy positioning. German as an academic language In 2010, the DAAD board addressed the multi layered issues of “German as an Academic Language”. It presented a memorandum calling
for multilingualism in science and the human ities that both respects the status of English as a worldwide “lingua franca” and fosters German as an academic and cultural language. Worldwide communication among researchers has to be ensured just as much as opportunities for German academics to gain and impart their insights in their mother tongue and its linguistic nuances. At the same time, the advantages linked to learning the German language, such as access to one of the most important academic, industrial and cultural locations, ought to be more strongly emphasised. A guideline in the memorandum states, the best way to promote German as an academic language, is academic excellence at German higher education institutions. Study programmes in English ought to offer more German modules alongside the courses in order to boost the social integration of the foreign guests at institutions.
the intercultural dialogue in their contacts with Germany and in presenting German culture. The core and simultaneously most extensive programme in the DAAD’s promoting of German studies is the “Lektor” programme. It comprises a worldwide network of around 500 lektors (senior language teachers) in 106 countries, including 59 lektors for individual subjects and 45 IC lektors. They teach the German language, literature and regional studies as well as non-philological subjects relating to Germany. In 2010, the annual summer meeting of lektors in Bonn was dedicated to the topic “20 Years of German Unity”. In their discourse, the former director of the Stasi files authority, Joachim Gauck, and historian and publisher Karl Schlögel developed interesting aspects and insights and discussed issues with the lektors from all over the world.

In addition to the lektors, the DAAD also supports around 130 language assistants, guest lectureships and local lektors who are working abroad without having been seconded by the DAAD. For example, they are invited to further education measures in their countries or in Germany.

range of activities, one of the highlights of which was an essay competition among graduates from German foreign and language certificate
schools who are currently studying in Germany via a DAAD scholarship.
Around 90 scholarship holders from 33 countries wrote about the topics “Germany as I see it” and “Germany 2025 – Perspectives for the country

Educational co-operation with developing countries Applicants from developing countries can choose from 43 postgraduate courses with topics related to development co-operation at German universities, in order to obtain a master’s degree or a PhD.
Effectively functioning higher education systems and well-trained graduates are among the basic prerequisites for development. With its programmes on co-operation with developing countries, the DAAD seeks to contribute to the higher education institutions of these countries becoming the driving force of development and . to their succeeding in joining the global knowl edge-based society. The junior staff who have been trained in Germany or in their own country . are to be able to participate effectively in im proving living conditions as well as in further economic and social progress in their countries.
“Sur-place” and In- Country / In-Region scholar ships strengthen good professional programmes on a local level and help to work against brain drain. 76 million euros flowed into these qualification programmes in 2010. Support ranges from individual scholarships to large-scale networks with partners in three continents. Germany’s higher education institutions are playing an important role in most of the programmes. As project partners, they are engaged in working out concepts for study courses relating to
38
evelopment, providing guidance counselling d for students and creating expert centres. Individual scholarships head the list of measures in educational co-operation with developing countries. The programmes for foreigners are open to applicants from all over the world. In addition, at Germany’s higher education institutions, candidates from developing countries seeking to acquire a master’s degree or do a doctorate have a choice of 43 postgraduate courses relating to development co-operation. 812 scholarship holders obtained further education in this manner in 2010. Also, for some years now, German and Arab or Latin American students have been able to graduate together, in integrated transnational masters’ courses. Stemming the brain-drain The “sur-place” and In-Country / In-Region scholarships are another variety of individual scholarships with a development focus, most . of which are awarded in Sub-Saharan Africa. They above all offer prospective higher education teachers from many countries in Africa the . opportunity to graduate in selected Masters’ and doctoral programmes of their home countries or region without having to leave the continent. Thus programmes that have high standards from a subject angle are strengthened locally while the brain-drain is simultaneously countered. With around 1,100 scholarship holders a year, the programme contributes to alleviating the lack of higher education teachers in Africa.

On the ground for 50 years: The DAAD’s Cairo office has been providing information on co-operations and funding options since 1960.
The DAAD is closely in touch with partners all around the world. Its country experts at the Bonn headquarters can rely on a network spanning the world that is constantly being extended. . The cornerstones are the DAAD’s 14 regional offices abroad: In metropolises such as New York, Moscow, Rio de Janeiro, Nairobi and Tokyo, the DAAD staff maintain the links with politics and higher education, develop new programmes for their region and coordinate them with the foreign ministries and organisations. They advise on scholarships and opportunities to study in Germany and provide information on Germany’s higher education system. Another important task is the preparation of research and higher education co-operation programmes. In this context, they collaborate closely with the German Embassies as well as with organisations like the Goethe Institute, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the Max Planck Society and the German Research Foundation.

provide individual consultation for academics at all qualification levels. ICs take part in higher education fairs, the Road Shows of German institutions abroad, they organise alumni events, offer advice on study programmes . and provide input for education market analyses. Often, the IC directors also inform institutions about new DAAD programmes, . for instance in development co-operation, and they arrange co-operation programmes in higher education.

door to international chambers, institutions and corporations,” says Maria Kleespies, DAAD
head of department for Western Europe and North America.
“Our alumni work as jurists in Japan or Russia or as employ-
ees of the Arbitration Service of the International Chamber of
Commerce in Paris or at the EU in Brussels.” Stefan Vogenauer has benefited, too. He was in
Oxford with a DAAD scholarship in 1994/95, and after holding
academic posts in Germany, he has been director of the Insti-
tute of European and Comparative Law there since 2004. The institute also teaches German law to UK students.

for a consortium, which developed an attractive profile for the university. In future, high-value curricula will be run and both German degrees and Double und Joint Degrees offered in engi-
neering sciences, natural sciences, law, economics and social sciences, and the humanities and
civilisation studies. In the medium term, 5,000 students are to be trained at the new institution.

Central and Eastern Europe, CIS
In 2010, the DAAD again awarded the largest number of scholarships in Central and Eastern Europe / CIS in worldwide comparison.
The burden of the past, in particular of the 20th century, frequently still has an effect on dayto-day politics and society in the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union: The consequences of the plane crash in Russia’s Smolensk on 10 April 2010, in which the Polish President and nearly 90 representatives of the Polish elite died, were just as painful a reminder of this as the fatal conflicts between Uzbeks and Kirgiz following the toppling of the Kirgiz President in June 2010. This is why DAAD support for Eastern Europe also serves the for mation of a new youth that is able to introduce new perspectives to reflections on the past and to the development of the future course of action and can contribute to modernising politics, society and the economy. Preventing conflicts Therefore, the DAAD also established and extended several specialist and regional centres . for social sciences and the humanities in Eastern Europe in 2010 – including the Willy Brandt Centre in Breslau, the Centre for German and European Studies in St. Petersburg or the Andrássy University Budapest. The DAAD is supporting academic co-operation between conflict parties with a number of more recent programmes, always trusting in the use of conflict prevention and resolution. For example, the special programme “Akademischer Neuaufbau in Südosteuropa” (Academic reform in SouthEastern Europe) promoted the modernisation of academic teaching in the Western Balkans in
54
20 subject networks with more than 150 higher education partners in 2010. The programmes “Konfliktprävention Zentralasien, Südkaukasus . und Moldau” (Conflict prevention Central Asia, Southern Caucasus and Moldavia) and “Förderung der Demokratie in der Ukraine” (Promoting democracy in Ukraine) gave students and academics from the region and from Germany the opportunity to communicate at 32 summer courses and specialist conferences. Finally, engineering and natural sciences play a key role in the economic reform of Eastern Europe. Managed by the Free University Berlin and Petersburg State University, the Centre of Excellence “G-RISC” was opened in St. Petersburg on 22 March 2010. The Centre takes up the special potential that the Russian natural sciences bear: More than 40 leading research institutes of both countries form a network in a new, interdisciplinary centre. A region in motion In 2010, the DAAD again awarded the largest number of scholarships in Central and Eastern Europe / CIS in worldwide comparison. The number of applications by foreigners from the region even rose by more than 14 percent. Taking the EU programmes into account as well, nearly 80 percent of mobility is promoted by structural and co-operation programmes such as the “Ostpartnerschaften” (Partnerships with Central and Eastern European countries and the CIS). Among the programmes on
higher education co-operation announced worldwide, applications for co-operation with Eastern Europe were very successful as well: In the “Doppeldiplomprogramm” (Double Diploma programme), a quarter of the projects emerged from partnerships with Eastern European higher education institutions, with 28 percent among the “Studienangebote deutscher Hoch schulen im Ausland” (Study programmes of German higher education institutions abroad). The third-party-funded programmes from the area of individual scholarships for foreigners have shown a positive development – a total . of roughly 4.5 million euros is being invested
55
annually. The “Matching Funds” partnership programme with the Open Society Institute (OSI) to promote the humanities and social sciences has been extended from a previous eleven CIS countries to the non-EU countries of the Balkan and firmly established there. Government programmes with countries of the CIS, where some are fully funded by the partners while others are conceived as “Matching Funds”, are showing a very dynamic development. For example, the “Evgeniy Savoyskiy” Programme, named after a Russian physicist (1907–1976), was launched in 2010. These scholarships are organised solely by the Government of Tartastan / Russian Federation.

The DAAD’s considerable funding volume correlates with a large number of “self-payers” from Eastern Europe at German higher education institutions. Among the major world regions and with more than 55,000 students, the largest number of foreigners with foreign education at German higher education institutions come from the 29 countries of the Eastern European / CIS region.

In contrast, among the academic co-operation programmes, the number . of Germans funded has even increased, which is why this approach can also be regarded . as the most promising one for the future to promote expertise on Eastern Europe among German higher education institutions. The traditionally very wide distribution of the German language in Eastern Europe continues to form a firm basis for academic exchange. In 2010, the DAAD particularly strengthened

a year. The “Away Game” 2010 brought the BKP to South Africa in the run-up to the Football World Cup.
The credo of the Artists-in-Berlin Programme is to offer its guests an open space for creativity
and room for the arts that is free from any market mechanisms or censorship. In this manner, the
BKP again and again succeeds in creating close
intellectual, cultural and emotional ties between its guests and Germany that go way beyond the immediate scholarship year. For example, the
famous Chilean writer Antonio Skármeta deliberately chose to celebrate his 70th birthday in
November 2010 not in Chile and not in Spain, but in Berlin.
61
Third Nobel Prize in Literature Laureate The Artists-in-Berlin Programme has succeeded
in steadily maintaining its excellent standards
over the years – the following distinctions and honours of its alumni in 2010 are testimony to
this: Somali author Nuruddin Farah was appointed Juror in the International Competition of the 60th Berlinale and Polish artist Artur Zmijewski Curator of the Berlin Biennale 2012, French art-
ist Cyprien Gaillard was nominated for the Prize
of the New National Gallery, and Peruvian author Mario V argas Llosa was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, with which the BKP can already
celebrate its third Nobel Prize in Literature Laure-
ate – following Gao Xingjian and Imre Kertész – among its alumni in this new century.
In 2010, former BKP guest Mario Vargas Llosa received the Nobel Prize in Literature.
North America
In 2010, 20 percent more students and junior scientists applied for a DAAD scholarship for the USA compared to the previous year.
The higher education system of the United States enjoys significantly better funding than the German system, with twice as much being spent on every student on average. However, . it has been suffering from cost pressure since the onset of the economic crisis. Over the past two years, the US Federal States invested seven percent less in their institutions. Although the US Federal Government’s economic stimulus package scheduled to end in mid-2011 stemmed decline in the short term, this development is having a dramatic impact on higher education. For after all, the Federal States had still been increasing their subsidies by 24 percent between 2005 and 2008. Now, almost all of them have announced further cuts. As a consequence, tuition fees continued to increase, a trend that has been observed for 30 years: In autumn 2010, students at government-run higher education institutions in their own Federal State had to pay almost eight percent more in tuition fees than in the previous year. Go west – and east
RISE, the programme for prospective natural and engineering scientists, enjoys a good reputation at American higher education institutions.
In spite of rising costs, many Ger man students, doctoral candidates and junior scientists and scholars are still keen to go to the . USA. In the American ranking of countries of ori gin of foreign students, Germany comes twelfth, . and the number of applicants for a DAAD schol arship rose by a further 20 percent last year.
62
But on the other side of the Atlantic, too, more and more students are interested in a stay abroad. The RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering) Programme, of which two varieties are offered in North America, is especially popular: In the “classical” RISE Programme, which has been in existence since 2005, Bachelor students can do a research internship at German higher education and research institutions; and since 2007, RISE has enabled professional North American graduates to do a research internship with a German company. Last year, 1,600 applications were received for these two programme lines. RISE is so highly esteemed at North American higher education institutions that the latter are increasingly participating in the funding of scholarships. The programme has scored a further success in that alumni of the RISE programme frequently apply for long-term study and research stays in Germany at a later stage, so that ultimately, the number of applications from North America for one-year scholarships to Germany is growing – by around 20 percent alone in 2010. Since 2009, RISE has also been open to students from the United Kingdom wishing to come to Germany and for German students to North America, and, since 2010, for German students worldwide. In addition, in 2010 the renowned Institute of International Education in New York decided to present RISE, as an exemplary format, with a prize in the context of the “Heiskell Awards” in the category of “Overseas Studies”, in 2010.

Federal Research Minister Annette Schavan opening the DWIH at the German House. The German House (below) also accommodates the New York office of the DAAD.
Visible in New York In February 2010, the first German House of Science and Innovation (DWIH) was opened in New York by Federal Research Minister Annette Schavan. The Houses of Science are to make German research and development more visible and concentrate the activities of the German research landscape at a total of five locations – in addition to New York they are Sao Paulo, New Delhi, Moscow and Tokyo. In New York, together with the German Research Foundation (DFG), the DAAD is the consortium leader for the DWIH. In the first year of its existence, the DWIH New York achieved an encouraging level of publicity in the American public thanks to nine major lecture and conference events, numerous presentations at important conferences and fairs and very active press and public relations work. In 2010, the DAAD and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) were able to take advantage of the enhanced visibility that German natural science and engineering has gained through the DWIH for a major joint alumni meeting, devoted to the topic “Facing the Four Elements: Developing a Transatlantic Approach to Sustainability”. Around 120 DAAD and AvH alumni from the USA and Canada attended the event, on the fringe of which a Canadian DAAD Alumni Association was revived. The results of the conference are going to be published in a special edition of the journal “The Environmentalist”.
65
In addition to activities with its American alumni, the DAAD also seeks contact with German scientists and scholars working in North America. Around 3,500 of them were reached with information and support offers via the “German Academic International Network” (GAIN) in 2010. In September 2010, about 400 junior scientists and scholars came to the 10th annual conference of GAIN taking place at the MIT in Boston, where they met the heads of science organisations and highranking representatives of politics, higher education and research, and industry. The DAAD has entered a partnership with New York University focusing on art. In September 2010, the contract was signed for a new chair . of Contemporary German Poetics. In future, each spring semester, a German author is going to introduce American students to German literature. In addition, events for the public are planned, if possible together with well-known American authors. The new chair is being cofunded by New York University.

Latin America
The countries in the southern part of Latin America that were only slightly affected by the worldwide financial crisis, Argentina and Brazil, achieved an impressive economic growth of around 8.8 percent in 2010. In the Mercosur (Common Market of the South), the countries of the region are cooperating more and more closely, not only in the economic . but also in the higher education sector. Independently of any political camps, with significantly larger budgets for research and development, the governments of Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay seek to evolve into technology- and information-based societies
2010 saw the first German-Brazilian Master’s degree within a short period. In Chile, for example, the new government also continues to support higher education and research institutions . and is now including private higher education institutions as well. The northern neighbours of the powerful Mercosur countries are not so much in agreement. This especially applies to Venezuela and Colombia, whose ideological conflicts have sharpened. In Venezuela, the socialist course of the Chavez administration is affecting higher education in particular: not only owing to massive restrictions in international exchange
66
and academic co-operation, but also because more and more qualified university lecturers are leaving the country. In Mexico, the economy was particularly hardhit in 2010, when the Gross Domestic Product declined by a further 6.5 percent compared to the previous year as a result of the financial crisis and a drug war claiming more than 30,000 lives so far. The tense security situation caused some research and higher education projects to be suspended. Co-financed programmes Many Latin American countries and institutions are interested in more intensive academic exchange with Germany and are making a considerable amount of funding available for this purpose. This interest is reflected in the number of scholarship holders from Latin America. In 2010, a total of 1,385 individuals came to Germany – thanks to so-called cofinanced programmes in which both the Latin American and the German sides participate . in funding. In this arrangement, the partners tap new fields to cooperate in and launch programmes: Together with the Mexican Research Council CONACYT, the DAAD is supporting . the master’s course on “Environment and Resources Management” that Universidad Autónoma San Luis Potosí and the Cologne University of Applied Sciences are running. . In addition to Germans and Mexicans, other Latin Americans can apply for the course.

are facing – the struggle against disease, the quest for solutions to climate and environmental
problems, supplying the world’s population with food and
energy – is simultaneously an
expedition into a shared world’s today and tomorrow.
With its Science Tunnel, the DAAD was participating in

Chilean centre of excellence for research and teaching, at the “Heidelberg Center Lateinamerika” in October 2010. The centre, which is to be funded with 2.1 million euros over the next five years, is strengthening academic exchange with one of Germany’s most important partners in Latin
America. In co-operation with Universidad de Chile and Pontifícia Universidad Católica de Chile, the new centre of excellence is developing study and further education programmes for the Latin American education market in the four disciplines of astronomy, geosciences, medical
physics and medical informatics. The German-Chilean consortium’s particular strength lies in
the last two disciplines. “The emphasis is above all on transferring know-how to Latin America, where we can see a considerable demand for these subjects,” says Dr. Walter Eckel, Director of the Heidelberg Center.

would no longer be conceivable. Nowadays, there are hardly any regions that are not addressed
by the EU programmes, although different levels and intensities of funding are applied.
The DAAD has been commissioned by the
Federal Ministry of Education and Research
(BMBF) to act as a National Agency or Information and Advice Centre for the EU higher education
to the TEMPUS Programme. It supports the
the neighbouring countries of Eastern Europe,
North Africa and the Middle East, the Southern Mediterranean, Central Asia and the Western Balkans. Co-operation with North America is

advises German higher education institutions on
promoting mobility and developing corresponding curricula as well as on credit transfer from abroad. In this manner, the National Agency is making a considerable contribution to creating the
European Higher Education Area and to attaining the mobility target set by the European education
ministers, according to which at least 20 percent of all graduates from higher education are sup-
posed to have studied or completed an internship abroad.
The BMBF and the education ministers of Asia and Europe have entrusted the DAAD with a further
strategic task in international education co-operation with the establishment of the ASEM Educa-
tion Secretariat in the National Agency. From 2009
to 2013, the Secretariat is to coordinate the ASEM Education Process and prepare the meetings of
the education ministers. Here, the content-related preparation of the Conference of Ministers in

generation of education programmes from 2014 on, which have met with a positive response at

groups. They address increased flexibility and simplification of the programmes, improvements in
quality and an extension of the geographical area that the mobility programmes apply in as well as
the adoption of new funding lines such as “Europa

In the Arab-Islamic countries, there is a growing desire for better higher education institutions and solid academic structures. This is also reflected in the DAAD’s stronger involvement in this region: Whereas just one DAAD department used to be dealing with these countries in 2005, there are now five departments with a corresponding number of staff. The general education crisis in the Arab-Islamic world, which the public have become aware of since the “Arab Human Development Report 2003” at the latest, is showing initial consequences: From Morocco to Pakistan, governments and . higher education managements. are making efforts to enhance the quality of their academic training programmes. For the high level of unemployment among young persons and a lack of vocational qualifications provided by higher education institutions are causing problems for the countries. A skilled agent
such as the German Uni versity in Cairo (GUC,
3 www.guc.edu.eg) and
the German-Jordanian
University ( 3 www.germanjordanian.org).
Above all the international dimension of . higher education is a central goal: Particular interest is taken in government scholarship programmes for studying in Germany, in establishing common study courses with double degrees and in study programmes run locally by German universities.

In addition, there is a strong demand for research . co-operation schemes supported by bilaterally financed research funds, further education in the field of quality assurance and accreditation and, partly, the introduction of German language departments. In all these schemes, the DAAD is seen as a skilled contact that has been active locally for a long time and has an expert knowledge of the region. Furthermore, the DAAD acts as a disinterested, “honest” agent advising partners in co-operation programmes and providing financial support. In 2010, the Cairo Office celebrated its 50th anniversary. The Islam-oriented countries of the Middle East are highly crisis-prone and, partly, politically unstable. Some countries, such as Afghanistan and Iraq, are in the process of reconstructing their academic infrastructure, which was largely . destroyed by war and conflict. The DAAD has been commissioned by the Federal Foreign Office . and the Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development to become involved here in particular; it is in charge of several projects. The DAAD makes a crucial contribution to man aging and resolving conflicts – above all via the German-Arab / Iranian higher education dialogue programme. In the context of concrete projects, German higher education institutions and their partners work together in the countries, not only sharing knowledge but also gaining an understanding of each other’s

Sub-Saharan Africa
For 17 countries, most of which are situated in francophone Sub-Saharan Africa, 2010 was a special year: they celebrated 50 years of independence. South Africa was the first African country to organise a Football World Cup; this united the continent in a wave of emotion. Via referendum, Kenya adopted a constitution that was also highly praised outside Africa. The less positive news included the controversial election in Ivory Coast, continuing instability in Kivu (Congo), assassinations in Nigeria and the uncertain future of Sudan. However, there was also good news for higher education in East Africa. Ethiopia invested 4.5 of its Gross Domestic Product in university development. With its 185,000 students, the country reached a new all-time high. It aims to reach a level of 450,000 students in five

Sport and politics In addition to its Nairobi office, the DAAD is also represented by Information Centres (IC) in South Africa, Ghana and Cameroon; a major opening ceremony was held for the IC Yaoundé in November 2010. DAAD lecturers are working at 22 higher education institutions in Africa. The rotating “Willy Brandt Chair in Transformation and Regional Integration” in South Africa is currently located at the renowned University of Stellenbosch. There, the chair organised a series of lectures by different speakers as well as workshops on the relationship between sport and politics and a conference on the state of the constitution in Zimbabwe. The German higher education lecturers in the DAAD short-term and long-term lectureships programme predominantly taught in the areas of African studies and law. In many seminars in different countries, the DAAD alumni intensified their contacts with one another and got to know the “Alumniportal Deutschland” online.
Ethiopia invested 4.5 percent of its Gross Domestic Product in higher education development. years’ time. Tanzania poured around 20 million US dollars into research and development, and Uganda increased the salaries of its lecturers by 30 percent.

In 2010, 16 training centres received such scholarships, including the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) and the Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) as well as subject-related networks in Botswana, Benin, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal and South Africa. The University of Ibadan honoured the DAAD with the Award of Excellence for its cross-border support. The DAAD intensified co-operation with South Africa’s National Research Foundation via a joint scholarship programme for prospective Masters’ students and doctoral candidates. All in all, the DAAD awarded around 800 “sur-place” and In-Country / In-Region scholarships. In addition, there were 38 scholarships for doctoral candidates seeking to conduct research in Germany in a Sandwich PhD Programme. In the context of the government scholarship programme launched with Tanzania in 2009, scholarships were also awarded to 16 junior Tanzanian academics for doctoral studies in .

In the specialist centres, prospective leaders enjoy excellent training in issues important to society and qualify in the fields of Good Governance, administration, soft skills and the German language and culture. 180 scholarships were awarded in 2010.

The partner Ethiopia In the context of higher education reform in Ethiopia, the DAAD is supporting the country’s government by placing university lecturers and administrators in the engineering sciences and in higher education management. In 2010, 17 experts were working at Ethiopian higher education institutions and institutes of technology. More than 300 Germany Alumni informed themselves about the project at the “German-Ethiopian Dialogue on Higher Education” in Addis Ababa in June. After tough negotiations, a follow-up agreement was signed with the Ethiopian partners in November that covers five years and provides 17 million euros. The government scholarship programme that was launched in 2009 and is also being fully funded by Ethiopia attained its target of 38 doctoral students in 2010. Co-operation supported by the BMZ with the Inter-University Council for East Africa

(IUCEA) in the DIES (Dialogue on Innovative Higher Education Strategies) programme was continued. The partners worked together on a quality assurance system for East African higher education institutions. They also ran a further “International Deans’ Course” and a regional conference for alumni. In addition to promoting mobility within Africa, co-operation focuses on bilateral partnerships and exchange programmes in higher education. In 2010, 35 subject-related partnerships between German and African higher education institutions were supported in Sub-Saharan Africa. Also, together with African higher edu cation institutions and partners from other world. regions, German higher education institutions developed centres of excellence. This is being carried out within the programme “exceed – Higher Education Excellence in Development Co-operation”.

Thanks to good co-operation in higher education, South Africa continues to be the country of first choice for German students and graduates.

Asia-Pacific
China seeks to double its number of foreign students from 250,000 to 500,000.
For several years, Asia has been the world’s most dynamic region. Although many of the continent’s countries were severely hit by the financial crisis, most of them have swiftly recovered, and growth rates of more than seven percent are by no means rare. Along with this, the balance of power in the world economy has shifted further in favour of Asia. Integration into global trade, supplying the world with ever higher-quality articles and the need to act not only as the workbench of western companies but to develop one’s own products have also driven developments in education and research. What is of particular importance for Germany is that the Asian countries seek to internationalise their higher education systems step by step.
In Bonn, the DAAD gathered 70 German New Zealand Alumni for the first time.
There is nothing new about students from Asia coming to Germany. Among the most important countries of origin of foreign . doctoral candidates, China, India and South . Korea are today in first, second and fifth position. Moreover, the Asian countries are increasingly investing funding of their own in order to encourage young people to take up . academic studies outside their own borders. Japan has raised its number of scholarships . in order to motivate students, who have so . far tended to be somewhat hesitant, to do . a semester abroad. And China continues to . award up to 6,000 scholarships a year to do . a doctorate abroad or attend a Sandwich . PhD Programme.

Countries opening up their higher education institutions What is new in many countries is the opening up of their own higher education infrastructures. Over the next ten years, China seeks to admit twice as many foreign students to its own higher education institutions – instead of today’s 250,000, there are to be 500,000. In order to achieve this, institutions are rapidly extending their programmes of events in English. In India, a draft law has been tabled enabling foreign institutions to run their own study courses or open up branches. Today, Malaysian universities present themselves as providers of study programmes in the Arab region, and in 2010, two Japanese universities opened up their European offices in Germany, one of them being Tsukuba University at the DAAD in Bonn. For the DAAD, this means that there will be fewer applications for our courses from those countries with a growing amount of funding of their own. At the same time, the government scholarship programmes have developed well. The number of scholarship holders from Vietnam and Aceh has remained at a constant level. A new cofounded programme has been signed with Mongolia according to which students in Bachelors’ and Masters’ courses, especially in mining, can do a full degree course in Germany. The first of them have already started in Freiberg and Aachen. Also, a new exchange programme involving projects (PPP)

Fun and games were also on
the itinerary. The children and
youths built green dream cities or wind turbines made out of
cardboard. An artistic performance of the “Town Musicians of Bremen” or participating
in an “Energy Performance” with artists from Berlin and Shanghai rounded off the
intensive days of encounter.
Success can best be measured
by the tears constantly flowing when the children and youths had to leave. But the many

that there will be further meetings between the young Chi-

In 2010, the DAAD concentrated on developing networks and supporting projects. In Australia, alumni founded a DAAD Alumni Association at a major event. In Auckland, a well-attended meeting of New Zealand alumni was held, while, for the first time, the DAAD gathered 70 German New Zealand alumni in Bonn. In Korea, the second major conference of “Alumni Deutschland-Korea (ADeKo)” took place, an umbrella association of 49 alumni associations sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Research. The newly elected President, DAAD Alumnus Kim Hwang-Sik, sent out invitations for an
evening reception and confirmed that he would continue to be an active member of the ADeKo in spite of his new office. In China, more than 200 alumni discussed “Better City, Better Life – What defines a better quality of living?”. The topic was derived from the motto of EXPO 2010 in Shanghai. The keynote speaker was EXPO head planner Wu Zhiqiang, a DAAD Alumnus. By his own account, he brought his love of nature and respect for cultural heritage from Germany back to China. In September, the focus was on “Modern Applications of Biotechnology” in Beijing. The Symposium, organised by the DAAD, was the second German-Chinese meeting of experts after the one in 2004. It was aimed at consolidating the existing DAAD network of German and Chinese scientists in biotechnology. The roughly 80 scientists from the two countries also included the project directors of the six bi-national groups of junior researchers funded since 2009 as well as several alumni from the Post-Doc Programme. The highlight of the Chinese Weeks at German higher education institutions, which were held as part of the 2010 “German-Chinese Year of Science and Education”, were the Chinese Days at the University of Hamburg – organised by the DAAD together with the local Confucius Institute. Students and academics from all over Germany had an opportunity to get an

Spoilt for choice – this need not only be the case
In addition, close co-operation enables DAAD
when going through elaborate menus but can also happen when working for one of the DAAD’s more than 90 selection committees. Given the large
amount of applications, thorough assessments are required. The selection criteria are just as diversi-
fied as the over 250 programmes run by the DAAD. A master’s course in management in the USA, an internship with an international organisation, a
research project of an Indian doctoral candidate
in informatics – the range of activities with which the DAAD promotes exchange and the interna-
tional dimension of higher education and research is enormous.
It is important to sift out the best of the many good applications. So the work of the DAAD depends
on the commitment of its almost 600 reviewing professors. They provide subject-related assess-
ments of the projects, taking into consideration
the personality and commitment of applicants as well as the chances of success and sustainability
of their projects. Whenever possible, the decision
to award scholarships to Germans and foreigners is taken following a personal interview. In some
programmes, selection is also based on the writ-
ten applications. The projects are presented to the committee and evaluated. The sessions usually last a day, but some may also take three days. The wide-ranging high-level activities of the
DAAD would not be possible without the efforts of the reviewers, working on a voluntary basis.

staff to experience the day-to-day work of higher education institutions. Thus, trends as well as
everyday observations and matters of concern in
practice find their way to the DAAD. The reviewers contribute to the DAAD’s keeping a grip on reality and adjusting its programmes to the needs of the higher education institutions. Dancing for a scholarship Every session of the selection committees is dif-
ferent. Take Folkwang University of the Arts in
Essen: 20 prospective dancers, actors and musical performers wish to convince the members of the DAAD selection committee of their abilities. This
selection is something very special. To start with, it is not taking place at the DAAD head office in
Bonn. While the dancers are warming up, accom-
panied by piano music, the first actor has already begun to play her role in the adjoining room. Like many other applicants, she would like to go to
the renowned Juilliard School in New York. The
Reviewing Professors and students are treating
each other in a friendly and almost warm-hearted manner. The atmosphere is concentrated and
relaxed at the same time. Out of the 30 applicants in this round, roughly half of them foreigners and the other half Germans, just five are going to be
awarded a scholarship. This is the usual average. Three committees are responsible for selecting
artists: “Performing Arts”, “Music” and “Fine Arts”.
600 reviewing professors in more than 90 committees sift out the best of the many good applications.

“
WU SIeGFrIeD ZHIQIAnG: I suppose I’m the only person in China with this name,” the DAAD Alumnus believes.
The head planner of Expo 2010 spent nine years in Berlin – where he studied at TU Berlin
as a scholarship holder and was also given his German first name. Since his return to China in 1996, the Professor of Urban Development and Assistant President of Tongji University in Shanghai has been keeping close contact with his former host country. Last year,
however, he above all focused his efforts on the World Exhibition.
There, Zhiqiang presented ideas for tomorrow’s city – designed with people’s and the environment’s needs in mind: natural wind flows and river water cooling buildings, glass funnels bringing sunlight to the lower floors, buses and trains rendering car-parks superfluous. His motto was “Expo as the largest experimental field for environmentally compatible urban planning.”
