The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), with financing provided by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), supports academic qualification measures for individuals from developing countries who participate in the In-Country / In-Region Programme.
One aim of this programme is to improve the teaching and research conditions in the partner countries in the long term and strengthen their higher educational structures on site. In order to do so, DAAD offers in cooperation with the international SEPT program (Small Enterprise Promotion and Training) located at Leipzig University, Germany, an intensive one-month training workshop – Project development for knowledge transfer – on topics related to the improvement of teaching skills and personal development in this field. At the heart of the entire programme is an individual project idea which participants are required to include already in their application. A provided canvas enables the applicant to further develop their ideas over the course of the training program. Course content will always reflect on and relate to these projects.
The training is targeting advanced students on Master or PhD level of all disciplines from developing countries. The programme is especially of interest to those who have an interest in setting up their own business or implementing their own ideas as development projects.
The key criteria are:
Please mind that participation is possible only once: If you have joined one of the In-Country / In-Region programme’s summer schools in the last years, it will not be possible to participate again in 2020.

People with disability are explicitly encouraged to apply! Should you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the coordinators at the university or the team at the DAAD.
During the training participants will be guests of Leipzig University. Following expenses will be covered by DAAD:
