About DAAD
DAAD stands for "Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst" - "German Academic Exchange Service". The DAAD is the major organisation in Germany responsible for the management of the country's government-sponsored programs for the support of higher education and research cooperation as well as exchange with all other parts of the world. Its programs are open to all countries and disciplines, to foreigners as well as to Germans.
The DAAD carries out the planning and administration of scholarship schemes, fellowship programs, the assignment of German teaching staff to higher education institutions abroad and institutional projects for numerous Federal Ministries, notably those dealing with Foreign Affairs, Education, Sciences, Research & Technology, and Development Cooperation, as well as private organisations. It also provides the academic community in Germany and abroad with a wide range of advisory and information services as regards to the institutions' participation in international cooperative ventures, and carries out the function of national agency for a number of European Union programs. The DAAD also supports the higher education institutions in their international activities by providing a number of services, such as information programs, publications, consultancy and advice, guidance and counselling.

About DAAD Australia
The 'DAAD Information Centre Sydney' was established in June 2003 and officially opened on September 26, by Prof. Max Huber, Vice-President of the DAAD.
Our main concern is to further enhance academic cooperation between Germany and Australia. Therefore, we provide comprehensive information on DAAD grants for study and research opportunities in Germany for students, researchers and academics currently affiliated to institutions of higher education in Australia. The DAAD Information Centre Sydney is also the point of contact for Australian DAAD Alumni. Furthermore, we offer counseling services and information about German institutions of higher education and their programs.
