| DAAD’s SDG alumni projects projects aim to support experts from emerging and developing countries who have been trained in Germany in establishing contacts with scientific and business partners worldwide. These experts, recognized as DAAD alumni, receive further training at a German university or research institution, and then take part in trade fairs, industry conventions, or specialized conferences. The participants gain new insights, exchange experiences, establish networks, and initiate collaborative projects while staying abreast of the latest research and technologies. | | | | | | |
