Cooperation

Strategic Partnerships

Partnerships are an important part of the internationalization process in universities, allowing schools to increase their visibility and competitiveness on the global stage. In order to foster this process, DAAD established the program “Strategic Partnerships and Thematic Networks” in 2012.
