DAAD Mourns Prof. Max G. Huber On March 20th, 2017, DAAD's former Vice-President Professor Max G. Huber passed away at the age of 79. He shaped DAAD for 16 years; his extraordinary personality, research experience and positions as both faculty and president of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn strongly influenced the visionary ideas that defined his tenure at DAAD. DAAD President Prof. Margret Wintermantel celebrated his legacy in academia and Germany's education policy, a legacy that earned him Germany's highest civilian honor, the 'Bundesverdienstkreuz' in 2012. Read the full obituary for Prof. Max G. Huber here (German only).
