The study visits for academics program aims to enable lecturers from the fields of Fine Art, Design, Film, Music, Architecture as well as Performing Arts (Drama, Direction, Dance, Choreography, etc.) to apply for a supported study visit for the purpose of artistic cooperation with a German host institution.
Duration:
Depending on the applicant's work schedule, the study visit will last between one and three months.
Value:
• Depending on the applicant's academic status, the monthly award will amount to 1840 EUR for assistant lecturers, assistant professors and young lecturers, and 1990 EUR for professors. In exceptional cases, 2240 EUR may be awarded.
• In addition to these payments, the DAAD generally will pay an appropriate flat-rate travel allowance, unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source.
Requirements:
• To qualify for support under the study visits for artists programme, the applicant must be lecturing at a higher education institution in the home country.
• A well-planned and convincing project is an important selection criterion.
