The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) 1925 - 2000
Published to mark the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the numerous articles by distinguished writers contained in these celebratory volumes provide a comprehensive account of the history, the structures and achievements of this leading academic exchange agency, from its beginnings in 1925 to the present day.
The activities of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) - today one of the world's largest and most respected intermediary organisations in its field - illustrate the terms of reference within which academic exchange and international cooperation in science and art progress as part of the essential creative forces of the modern world. Their development is determined by individuals and their study and research projects, by the scientific community and by the expectations and views of society, as well as and also by what is technically possible, coupled with economic interests and political goals. The 3 volumes of this Festschrift, with their essays and articles by distinguished writers, aim to illuminate this network.

The facets of the DAAD's responsibilities and the work of its organisational bodies which this volume identifies and presents reveal the amazing diversity and complexity of the network of activities and relationships which the DAAD maintains as only agencies of international culture can. At the same time, it describes and documents the institutional and programme-policy developments of the DAAD since 1950. The text is amplified by numerous statistics.

Volume 3
Mit dem DAAD in die Welt
 |
Friedrich W. Hellmann (ed.)
Mit dem DAAD in die Welt
Ausländer und Deutsche erzählen von ihren Erlebnissen - ein Lesebuch
240 pages
The nature and effect of academic exchange are probably something that can only be experienced by those who have themselves taken part in such programmes. Historical or social-scientific treatments alone will never be able to describe this experience in all its dimensions. This is why the third volume gives the German and international guests of the DAAD their say - scholarship holders, Lektors, guest professors - and presents the subjective accounts of their experiences, encounters and episodes in Germany and throughout the world - all made possible by the support provided by the DAAD.
About the editor: Dr. Friedrich W. Hellmann, was active in the field of worldwide academic exchange in various capacities from 1960 to 1998, serving as the Deputy Secretary-General of the DAAD from the mid 1970s onwards. |
