DAAD President Prof. Mukherjee on COVID-19
Updates on Programs and Events
“The coronavirus pandemic has now become a global challenge [...],” says DAAD President Prof. Joybrato Mukherjee. The restrictions are having a direct effect on the DAAD, its member higher education institutions and student bodies. Our mission “Change through Exchange” can only work if an exchange is actually possible. However, over the next few weeks and months, we are expecting to see continued and substantial restrictions in worldwide exchange, in our provision of funding and in the organization of events. We are therefore supporting our member higher education institutions in their endeavors to prevent the virus from spreading quickly." Read full statement
