DAAD's Commitment to Diversity

Promoting diversity through exchange has been one of the principles of the DAAD's work since its founding. We want to devote even more attention to equal opportunities, mutual understanding, access, and inclusion in the future. DAAD's Diversity Agenda, published at the end of last year, describes DAAD's planned path forward for its diversity efforts. You can read the document here.
