German universities, like most universities around the world, maintain a broad network of international partnerships. The DAAD supports such international partnerships through a number of schemes that aim to foster cooperation among higher education institutions.
In the eyes of the DAAD, the end of a funding period marks the beginning of a long-standing relationship with us. We aim to stay in touch with our alumni as well as help you get to know one another through a serious of programmes and activities. We also support you in setting up regional DAAD alumni clubs and other forms of networking opportunities.

The program offers scholarships for international studies, research stays, and internships in Germany. Graduates, doctoral students, postdocs, and researchers can apply. The fellowships are open to all disciplines (e.g. engineering, law, natural and social sciences) that have a connection to green hydrogen. Four working groups allow for exchange with experts from science and the industry.
