DAAD Research Ambassadors are available to advise PhD-candidates, Postdocs, and young scientists on opportunities for research and funding in Germany. They are appointed for two years.

Arranging an informational meeting on campus each academic year for students in their department and/or prospective applicants to DAAD programmes.
