Ten New Summer Study Abroad Programs to be Selected to Receive DAAD Funding
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Executive Summary in English
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) invites proposals from German universities for the development and launch of new summer programs developed specifically for the needs of US students. Up to ten projects will be chosen by an independent expert selection committee to receive financial support averaging ?2,500 (fiscal year 2007), ?11,000 (2008) and ?8,000 (2009), as well as additional logistical and financial support for administrator training and program marketing. The selected programs will also be awarded the DAAD Seal of Quality.
Projects in areas of particular strength for German institutions and/or of particular interest for US students?such as the natural sciences, engineering, business administration or management, music, design and art?will be given preference. The study abroad programs should be developed with US higher education institutions and include provisions for credit-recognition from the partner institution. The new study abroad programs should be able to support themselves financially by the end of the initial funding period.
This program is a follow-up to a project initiated in 2005, which developed and launched ten study abroad programs at German universities funded by special assets of the German Federal Ministry of Economics.
As a long term goal, the new projects will be added to the ten already initiated projects, creating a substantial catalogue of 20 high-quality, self-sustaining study abroad programs.
Funding will last from 2007 to 2009 with the launch of the programs themselves in 2008.
Although the proposals must come from the German side, US institutions interested in finding a German partner should contact Laura Montgomery at (212) 758-3223 ext. 211 or studyabroad@daad.org.
Proposals must be received by June 30, 2007.
