Re-invitation Programme for Former Scholarship Holders

This programme offers former scholarship holders the opportunity to carry out research and working projects in Germany and to maintain contacts as part of DAAD's global alumni network. The scholarships are funded by the German Federal Foreign Office. The programme provides funding for research and working projects at state or state-recognised institutions of higher education or non-university research institutes in Germany, as well as working stays at institutions in business, administration, culture or media for former scholarship holders who work outside the science sector. A research or working visit can also take place at several host institutions. Funding may only be claimed once within three years and is provided for one to three months. The funding must begin in 2026. The programme is specifically designed for former holders of DAAD research grants or study scholarships who have been funded for more than six months by the Federal Foreign Office or in a programme co-financed with Federal Foreign Office funds, as well as former East German scholarship holders who studied for at least one year in Germany.
