DAAD is proud to announce the winners of the 2025 DAAD/GSA Best Book and Article Prizes and honorable mentions awarded on September 26, 2025, at the 49th Annual Conference of the German Studies Association in Arlington, VA.
For this year's social media contest, we're celebrating our 100 year anniversary with #100Years100Postcards! Currently enrolled graduate and undergraduate students are invited to enter for a chance to win a free trip to Germany.
In celebration of DAAD's 100th anniversary, we're highlighting the stories of just a few of the tens of thousands of DAAD alumni who have participated in DAAD-funded exchanges between the United States and Germany since 1925. This week, Almut Spalding tells us the story of her grandfather, Werner Könnecke.
German universities, as is the case all over the world, have broad networks of international partners. Through cooperation programs among higher education institutions, DAAD supports German universities in expanding these networks.
For DAAD, the end of the funding period is the beginning of a long-standing relationship with its alumni. Our goal is to strengthen the DAAD alumni network by supporting the formation of alumni clubs, e.g. through various programs and activities.
The aim of the DAAD USA Advisory Service is to support German students, researchers, and universities by providing reliable information and individual advice on questions relating to study and research stays in the USA and to inform them about current developments in higher education policy. It now also offers information for US students, prospective students, researchers, and third-country students who wish to study in Germany.

One of our DAAD USA colleagues was just in time to ring in the season: Every spring, white asparagus takes over restaurant menus and family kitchens across the country. Traditionally served with potatoes, hollandaise sauce, and salmon or ham, Spargel is a true sign that spring has arrived.
