(Photo: Trung Hieu sent to USSH)At the meeting, Ms. Anke Stahl introduced the project to develop a network of alumni - those who have received scholarships from the DAAD Foundation during their studies and research. DAAD wants to establish and expand the network of alumni of the foundation with the aim of maintaining academic exchange relationships and skills, learning and research experiences among members; helping future students benefit from the experience and knowledge of their predecessors; thereby expanding academic exchange opportunities between German universities and other countries, contributing to promoting the internationalization of higher education in the Federal Republic of Germany. Members of the network will participate in many activities, exchange and provide information on new development trends in science, especially research on Germany. This relationship aims at sustainable cohesion, improving research capacity and knowledge sharing, promoting the contributions of network members to development goals.
Ms. Anke Stahl also said that she wanted to understand the needs and desires of alumni through their feedback; to learn about their contributions to universities and how universities use these alumni in school development activities. On that basis, DAAD will establish the basic directions of the network as well as the DAAD fund. She also provided information about the latest DAAD doctoral scholarship support in 2014.
