GoEast Program (DAAD)

Within the initiative "GoEast" the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) wants to inspire more students from Germany to study and research in the countries of Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe. The DAAD provides partial scholarships to German students from BMBF funds who wish to participate in summer and winter schools. At best, these short stays, as a first contact with the country, culture and people, should not only arouse interest in an exciting region, but also be the starting point for future academic and professional careers. 

As part of many programmes, language courses and regional studies are offered in addition to specialized courses. 

The applicant portal for GoEast Summer Schools 2021 will be open from 01.03.2021. It is possible to apply for up to 3 summer schools.

2-3 weeks in July/August/September

Who can apply? 
German students of all disciplines (bachelor, master, diploma). Under certain conditions, students with foreign citizenship can also apply.
