PRESS RELEASE: Bridging the Continents - Higher Education Cooperation Between Germany and Eastern Africa

© NA DAAD / Susanne Reich
Over the years, German universities have been striving to establish strategic partnerships with universities abroad. Consequently, to advance relationships with universities in Eastern Africa, the DAAD Regional Office in Nairobi and the Erasmus+ National Agency for Higher Education at DAAD will be hosting close to 100 esteemed higher education delegates from Germany and Eastern Africa at a networking forum. The event will take place at Safari Park Hotel in Nairobi on September 12th and 13th, 2024.

This highly distinguished forum aims to enhance and solidify cooperation in higher education between Eastern African nations and Germany. Apart from networking, representatives from Eastern Africa will discover more about DAAD’s prospects for bilateral cooperation as well as EU funding opportunities, particularly Erasmus+.

For more than 50 years, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has provided information on Germany as a study and research destination in Eastern Africa. The DAAD has also guided university collaboration, scholarships, and funding alternatives. It has played a significant role in bolstering German institutions to become more globally connected. The DAAD has served as a significant link between the European Commission and other regional actors, ensuring that German universities are fairly represented in EU financing lines.
