Description
DAAD’s Study Visits for Academics – Artists and Architects promotes artistic cooperation with German host institutions. Funded by the German Federal Foreign Office, the programme supports university teachers undertaking collaborative artistic work at state or state-recognised universities in Germany. A visit may involve more than one host institution.
The disciplinary scope includes architecture and planning, fine art, film, design, visual communication, performing arts and music. Projects must be coordinated with the cooperation partner in Germany. An independent selection committee places particular importance on documented specialist qualifications and a convincing, well-planned project, while also giving due consideration to equal opportunities.
