Objective
Various kinds of support are available for foreign members of universities within the framework of inter-university partnerships. These partnerships are essentially built on formal agreements reached between two higher education institutions or their management and provide long-term exchange and cooperation measures. Details on academic cooperation as well as the exchange of students, lecturers, professors and researchers are governed in these cooperation agreements, which also define funding responsibilities.
Value
The German higher education institutions have various sources at their disposal from which they can gain support for partnerships.
Country-specific information, dates and deadlines, application address and advice
• Interested parties should inquire at their home higher education institution as to whether any firm partnerships with German higher education institutions are in place within whose framework a stay in Germany could be funded.
• The promotion of an inter-University partnership does not exclude the promotion of “Bilateral DAAD Programmes for Co-operative Research Grants” or the “Bilateral Exchange of Academics”.

Practical training placements for students of the above mentioned subjects are arranged by the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE). Placements are, however, only available to countries with a National IAESTE Committee. Within the DAAD, unit 225 is the German National IAESTE Committee.
Duration
Usually, traineeships are two to three months in duration with various firms, institutions of higher education and research institutes. In individual cases, traineeships of extended duration can be arranged.
Value
Trainees are usually paid 650.- € per month; the DAAD, however, is not able to grant additional funds to cover travel costs.
Requirements
• Specific information on conditions of eligibility is available from the National IAESTE Committee of the member country concerned.
• Language Proficiency: Requirements regarding language proficiency of German differ greatly; some firms require their foreign trainees to have a good knowledge of German, many others however only ask for some basic knowledge necessary for communication at work. In some cases a good knowledge of English is sufficient.
• Training placements recruited in Germany are offered exclusively by the responsible National IAESTE Committee abroad, which in turn arranges placements for German university students. Unfortunately, the DAAD is unable to arrange traineeships for individual foreign applicants, except within the framework of the IAESTE exchange scheme.
• Precise information on when to submit applications is available from the IAESTE Thailand.
