Call for Applictions – Education And Research oriented Training in Health Sciences

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), with financial support from the Federal
Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), supports academic qualification measures
for individuals from developing countries through its In-Country / In-Region Programme. Every year,
the DAAD awards more than 700 BMZ-funded scholarships to junior researchers from Africa, the Middle
East, Latin America, South East Asia and South Asia to help finance their Master or PhD programmes
in their home country or region. The programme aims to qualify trained professionals to address and
deal with diverse societal, economic and ecological issues in developing countries. A further objective
is to sustainably improve the teaching and research conditions in the partner regions and to strengthen
their higher education profile.
As an additional offer for scholarship holders of the In-Country / In-Region Programme, the
DAAD cooperates with German universities in organising a range of summer schools in Germany.
These three to four-week courses give the students and young researchers an opportunity to take part
in a high-class academic training in a selected subject area, meet and exchange with peers from across
the world, and gain their own, unique experiences of the German society, culture and history.
