Studying and Research in Germany
Research in Germany
Relaunch of the internet portal www.research-in-germany.de
The revised and extended portal provides foreign researchers and scientists with a wealth of easily accessible information about research opportunities in Germany. New features include a news and events section, a web guide with over 200 links, and a meta search tool for searching German R&D internet sites. In addition, the portal gives extensive information about country and subject specific priorities and initiatives of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
The web portal ‘research-in-germany.de’ now offers a newsletter with the latest information on Germany as a centre of research.
The newsletter "Research in Germany” will appear fortnightly with articles and interviews on research institutions and their projects, on opportunities for collaborating with top-class German researchers, as well as on the most recent developments in science and research, and on the High-Tech Strategy for Germany.
The information service addresses foreign academics, scientists, and stakeholders and gives them the opportunity to learn more about Germany’s wide-ranging and diverse science and research landscape. It also aims to awaken an interest in completing research stays in Germany. The newsletter additionally offers researchers information on finding suitable partners for their collaborative research projects at international exhibitions, professional conventions and conferences.
The newsletter is published by the "Research in Germany” information platform. The portal gives an overview of the German research landscape, along with the latest news and an event guide, plus a web catalogue with more than 200 annotated links on life and research in Germany. It further offers information on the thematic and regional focuses pursued by the initiative "Research in Germany – Land of Ideas”, a project of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), which has been promoting Germany as a leading centre of science and research on the international stage since 2006. Editorial responsibility for the portal lies with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
You can subscribe to the newsletter or download the pdf-file at www.research-in-Germany.de/Newsletter.
Research in Germany offers a lot of advantages to foreign scientists. Especially for scientists who are looking for high quality research programs Germany is the country of choice: Because of their academic quality and high standard equipment, German universities and scientific institutions are highly attractive. At the same time German institutions and authorities are trying to attract as many outstanding researchers as possible and offer therefore a number of scholarships, support programs and other grants to preserve and expand Germany's international attractiveness as a top address for top scientists.
But before starting your research in Germany, there are probably many questions, waiting to be answered. To ease the beginning a little bit, the DAAD and Deutsche Welle collected the most frequent questions and answered them accurately.
