Re-invitation Programme for Former Scholarship Holders • DAAD

The Re-invitation Programme for Former Scholarship Holders is an initiative by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) designed to support former DAAD scholarship recipients who wish to return to Germany for further academic or research activities. This programme aims to strengthen academic ties and promote continued collaboration between Germany and international scholars who have previously benefited from DAAD funding. It is intended for former scholarship holders who have completed their studies or research in Germany and now seek to return for a limited period to pursue further academic projects, research, or advanced training. The programme facilitates reintegration into the German academic environment and encourages the exchange of knowledge and expertise. The Re-invitation Programme supports a wide range of disciplines, reflecting the diverse fields covered by DAAD’s broader scholarship offerings. Applicants are typically required to have a clear research plan or academic objective for their stay in Germany. The duration of funding and the amount granted vary depending on the specific project, the applicant’s profile, and the available budget. This programme complements DAAD’s overall mission to foster international academic cooperation and to build lasting networks between Germany and scholars worldwide.

The Re-invitation Programme for Former Scholarship Holders is a specialized funding opportunity offered by the DAAD to enable former scholarship recipients to return to Germany for a defined period to continue their academic or research work. This programme is designed to build on the initial scholarship experience and to encourage sustained academic collaboration between Germany and international scholars. Applicants must have previously received a DAAD scholarship and completed their funded study or research period in Germany. The programme supports stays typically ranging from a few weeks to several months, depending on the nature of the project and the applicant’s objectives. Eligible activities include conducting research, participating in academic conferences, delivering lectures, or engaging in advanced training at German universities or research institutions. The Re-invitation Programme is open to scholars from all disciplines, reflecting DAAD’s broad commitment to supporting diverse academic fields. Funding amounts and duration are determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the scope of the proposed activity and available resources. Applicants are required to submit a detailed project proposal outlining their academic goals, the significance of their work, and the expected outcomes of their stay in Germany. The programme also emphasizes the importance of maintaining and strengthening academic networks established during the initial scholarship period. By facilitating these return visits, DAAD aims to promote long-term partnerships and knowledge exchange that benefit both German institutions and the international academic community. The application process involves submitting documentation through DAAD’s official channels, and selection is based on academic merit, relevance of the project, and potential impact. Due to the variable nature of the funding and the number of awards, interested candidates should consult DAAD’s official website or contact the DAAD offices for the most current information and application guidelines.
