The DAAD Information Centre Hong Kong & Macau aims at forging and deepening contacts bewteen local and German universities. International links are nowadays one of the most important cornstones of the success of an university. We thus act as a bridge between Hong Kong and Macau universities on the one side, and the higher education institutions in Germany on the other.
The annual European Higher Education Fair (EHEF) is a golden opportunity in which local and German universities come into direct contact. Immediately after the fair, we organize a visit to a selected local university for the German delegation. Many existing university cooperation indeed grow out of this visit.

Higher Education Institutions in Germany
The DAAD funds the development and introduction of high-quality, internationally competitive study and research programmes for qualified foreign students, (post)graduates, academics and researchers who, for their part, contribute to the outstanding teaching and research offered in Germany. The DAAD also encourages the creation of hospitable frameworks for foreigners (status and work permit legislation, guidance-counselling, and much more) and helps higher education institutions position themselves in the international "education market" by carrying out information and advertising campaigns. Germany can only maintain and develop the quality of its academic, science and research institutions by working together with the best foreign students, (post)graduates, academics and researchers.
Since the mid-1990s and the conception of two "Action Programmes", the DAAD has developed a number of institutional structure-building programmes which aim to make German higher education, science and research more attractive to the international students and academics. These programmes serve to improve the content of study and research offerings, to make "customer-oriented" improvements to the legislative frameworks for foreign guests and, finally, to professionalise the information and marketing activities of Germany's higher education institutions. Chapter 5 of the full Annual Report (available in German only) outlines these programmes.
