The group will discuss funding opportunities, internationalization strategies, and the potential for co-operation between German and North American institutions.
On this trip, participants will visit Frankfurt, Berlin and Dresden. Frankfurt University and Freie Universit�t Berlin will share their experience with one of DAAD�s newest and largest funding programs, �Strategic Partnerships and Thematic Networks� with the group.

While in Dresden, the group will also visit the Hochschule f�r Technik und Wirtschaft which belongs to the Universities of Applied Sciences �Fachhochschulen.� Their emphasis on practical orientation makes them very attractive for employers. Besides strategic partnerships other topics currently of relevance for German institutions of higher education and research will also be covered, including training of doctoral candidates in structured PhD programs, the increasing importance of third party funding in research, student and researcher mobility.
At various times during this week, the group will meet additional guests, from the political sphere, from independent research institutes, and from industry, and with ample time for discussion.

DAAD has about 30 spots available for students from all over the US and Canada to share with their peers what makes Germany such a unique and attractive destination for study abroad.
DAAD Young Ambassadors are responsible for organizing at least one event per semester on their campuses to promote study in Germany. Additionally, they will collaborate with their universities' study abroad offices and other German institutions in their areas to inform their fellow students on educational and research opportunities in Germany. DAAD Young Ambassadors are also available for email inquiries about their respective German host universities, study abroad programs or about life as a student in Germany in general. Their contact information as well as short profiles can be found on the DAAD website.
