The German Academic Exchange Service is one of the world's largest and most respected intermediary organisations in its field. Scores of students, teachers, researchers and scientists supported by the DAAD have been able to gain valuable experience abroad. However, there are also many other sides to the work of the DAAD.

The DAAD supports and promotes all areas relating to science, research, language, teaching and very much more. Look here for a profile of the DAAD and its services.

The DAAD Action Programme from 2008 to 2011 serves to persue the goal of improving the international appeal and efficiency of Germany's universities and universities of applied sciences ("Fachhochschulen"). It aims to act as a guideline for future DAAD programmes, as well as for those currently "in progress", and is implemented in close agreement with the public sponsors and the science and research organisations.

DAAD Head Office is in Bonn, but the organisation operates a far-reaching network of offices around the world. These pages provide information and details on the DAAD's organisational structure and bodies, its statutes, addresses and so much more.
