Project Funding

DAAD supports international partnerships through several funding grants aimed at fostering higher education institutional collaboration. Funding is available to German universities for both existing partnerships as well as for supporting new research projects with North American partners.

If you are interested in one or any of these programs, please refer your German partner institution to the appropriate website or to our database of DAAD funding programs here.

Through ISAP, scholarships are given to German students who complete a portion of their degree coursework abroad at a partner university with the added benefit of a tuition waiver or significant tuition reduction. German universities are encouraged to develop courses for foreign exchange students, credit transfer agreements, curriculum collaboration strategies, and/or dual degree structures  which will lead to an ongoing and successful internationalization of both partner institutions.

Funding is available for travel subsidies, scholarships, insurance and tuition fees (up to 50% of regular fees) for German students; funds for language courses and tutorials for students from Canada or the US, and guest lectureships at partner institutions. Funding for new projects is generally granted for two academic years with an extension possible.

The aim of the program is to develop and/or establish an integrated international double degree program with one or more foreign partner university/universities. The degree programs are intended to make a sustainable contribution to the establishment and expansion of international structures at German universities and to strengthen the exchange of teachers and learners.
The Integrated International Degree Programs with Double Degrees fund degree programs at universities and universities of applied sciences which, after studies completed partly at the German and partly at the foreign higher education institution, award both national degrees, either as a joint degree or as a double degree.

Through the IPID4all program, German universities can combine specific measures in order to enhance the internationalization of the doctoral phase. They can also test new internationalization strategies and establish them in the long term. The program is open to all universities, departments and subject areas and offers added value for doctoral students at German universities.

The IPID4all program is open to international doctoral students, giving them access to a wide range of international cooperation opportunities that will aide in contributing toward raising the profile and internationalization of the funded universities in the field of doctoral training.

The projects are located at the level of one or more departments or at several universities and, in principle, are aimed at all doctoral students within this entity. The aim is for new offerings to be combined with existing structures, or for these to be extended. The universities funded under the program can select the funding measures appropriate for them from a wide range and offer these to the doctoral students in their university, department or subject area. This enables IPID4all to contribute significantly to developing internationalization structures and to raising the profiles of the participating universities. The regular exchange with doctoral students, who are the primary beneficiaries of this program, is an integral component of the program.

DAAD’s GIP program aims to promote cooperation between institutions offering Germanistik and/or Deutsch als Fremdsprache at German universities and their partner institutions abroad.
