German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)

The Head Office of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is currently running an assessment of the DAAD portfolio and the activities in India. To support  to assess the DAAD's engagement in India based on your experiences as responsible for internationalisation of your university. The study aims to identify to which extent the existing needs and requirements are covered and if there are potential funding gaps.

Against the background of substantial science and education policy reforms in India (most notably the National Education Policy (NEP) and the Draft of the Science and Technology Policy) as well as India's growing geopolitical importance, the DAAD would like to strategically align its engagement in this country. For this purpose, the DAAD has commissioned the agency Syspons to conduct a portfolio analysis as well as an analysis of the DAAD’s local representation structures. On the one hand, the objectives of the current DAAD engagement are to be validated, higher-level impact are to be recorded, and synergies between the DAAD's funding instruments are to be identified. On the other hand, the cooperation with Indian partner organizations and higher education institutions are assessed against the backdrop of their requirements for internationalisation.

In this context, we are conducting focus groups with DAAD cooperation partners and important stakeholders. As your institution is highly engaged in international higher education and research cooperation, we would be glad if you could support us and join us for an online focus group.

The agency Syspons will run an online focus group. and will contact you in the next days. The confirmed participants of the focus groups will receive some guiding questions beforehand for preparation.
