“Germany and its universities are proven to be an attractive destination for students and doctoral candidates from all over the world. We are able to attract talented individuals, particularly in the highly sought-after STEM subjects, and offer them excellent study and research conditions,” said DAAD President Prof. Dr. Joybrato Mukherjee.
“International students and doctoral candidates enrich our universities, contribute to strengthening innovation and, after successfully completing their studies, make an important contribution to science, the economy and social systems. At the same time, we are observing that the environment for students and scientists in the USA has changed, and many of our member universities are reporting increased interest in Germany as a place to study and conduct research from the United States,” Mukherjee continued.
