The German Academic Exchange Service wants to promote study and research in the countries of Central, Southeast and Eastern Europa and also Transcaucasia and Central Asia. Therefore the German Academic Exchange Service funds students who want to take part in summer and winter schools through the programme „Go East“. These events are organised every year during the summer or winter months and cover various topics. The programme is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

All students that are registered at a German university and intend to finish their degree in Germany may apply, no matter what subject they study. Graduates with a completed master and PhD students are not able to apply.

Information about the summer schools, further information about the application process and what is included in the scholarship can be found on https://goeast.daad.de/de/25457/
