We would like to share some of the impressions of the Alumni Meeting in Melbourne, the Science & Innovation Day in Brisbane and the reception of the President of the German Bundesrat, Michael Müller, together with the opening of the Research Germany exhibition, at the IC Sydney.
Furthermore, we were happy to receive DAAD Secretary General Dr. Dorothea Rüland at the IC!
And last but not least we would like to use this opportunity to introduce our new IC Director, Katharina McGrath.
She holds a masters degree in German as a foreign language and has worked with the DAAD for the past 4 years, her last assignment being a lecturer position at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

Impressions of the DAAD Alumni Treffen
|
|
The recent DAAD Alumni Meeting on 'The Responsibility of Science and Technology for Innovation' was held at Melbourne University and Monash University in Melbourne. This conference was organised by the DAAD Head Office in Germany in conjunction with the German Embassy in Australia, the German Chamber of Commerce and DAAD Australia.
More than 150 guests, including former scholarship holders and other experts representing a broad field of expertise, were invited to attend and speak at the conference. Workshops focused on current environmental issues and Industry 4.0. Best practice examples of successful higher education cooperation were showcased in order to highlight the importance of the scientific relationship between Germany and Australia. A boat trip on the Yarra River and sightseeing tours completed the 2 days conference.
We thank everyone for their support for making this event possible!
