The Eastern Partnership Program strengthens and promotes cooperative relations between German universities and universities in Central Eastern, Eastern and Southeastern Europe as well as the countries of the South Caucasus and Central Asia by promoting mobility. In this way, it contributes to the expansion of international relationships through education and research, to the dissemination and promotion of the German language abroad, to the promotion of intercultural dialog between people, and to crisis and conflict management.
Funding is available for short study and research stays. The purpose of these stays is to strengthen or initiate collaborations between (early career) scientists of TU Dresden and the partner universities in Central and Eastern Europe. Moreover, during the stay, research-related work can be carried out in archives, university libraries and university-associated institutes.
