The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), as a publicly funded, self-governing organization of the institutions of higher education in Germany, promotes international academic exchange as well as educational cooperation with developing countries through a variety of funding and scholarship programs.

The purpose is to provide opportunities to post-doctoral researchers and university staff from sub-Sahara Africa to conduct cooperative research within the region or in Germany.

Note: The fellowships to the selected centres can run for up to two years. For the staff exchange fellowship one need not be an alumnus of DAAD to apply.
