The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Bonn, and the Open Society Scholarship Programs are collaborating on a joint program of grants for graduates from the selected countries in Central Asia,, the Former Soviet Union and the Balkans.
The DAAD/OSI Scholarships aim to bolster the capacity of the participating countries to provide quality instruction and research in the social sciences and humanities, and to create a network of scholars from these countries in these fields with colleagues in Germany to enhance the international exchange of ideas and academic best practice.
A variety of academic opportunities are available to scholars in participating countries to pursue advanced degrees and training at top level universities in Germany. Grantees will be clustered at host institutions to build cohorts of graduates and professors with a common frame of reference, generating international and intra-regional connections into the future.
The grants are awarded jointly by DAAD and Open Society Foundations for study and living expenses incurred at German Universities.
