The German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst – DAAD) is awarding funds provided by the German Federal Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt – AA) to support the programme line ‘Ta’ziz Short-Term Measures’ under the ‘Ta’ziz Partnership’ programme.

Funding under the ‘Ta'ziz Short-Term Measures’ programme line is intended to promote the establishment and/or expansion of professional cooperation between German higher education institutions and non-university partners with higher education institutions from the MENA region (Middle East & North Africa), primarily from Tunisia, Sudan, Lebanon and Iraq, as well as from Egypt, Algeria, Yemen, Jordan, Libya and Morocco. An additional aim is that existing partnerships and established scientific relationships that have already been funded are finalised or intensified/consolidated through specific and short-term measures

Measures/activities eligible for funding include:
• Implementation of initiation trips and fact-finding missions
• Project-related exchange of students, lecturers, (junior) scientists/ researchers and/or higher education management staff in the context of a short-term measure
• Implementation of (digital) events (e.g. professional development sessions, workshops, symposiums, conferences, colloquia, summer/winter schools)
• (Further) development of concepts and/or (knowledge-based) products relating to teaching, research and/or higher education management (including curricula, processes, publications, models, exhibitions, print products)

Not eligible for funding are:
• Measures/Activities that are exclusively focused on research cooperation
• Representative trips not related to a project
• Stays (e.g. research, teaching and study stays) that serve exclusively to fund individuals and are not granted as part of a partnership project.

The programme is open to all disciplines.

The application for project funding must be submitted in complete form and before the deadline via the DAAD portal (www.mydaad.de).
The application deadline is 31 May 2024 for measures/activities between 1 September and 31 December 2024
