Background. The scheme is a joint initiative of the Group of Eight (Go8) universities and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The scheme is being jointly funded by the Go8 and the DAAD for three years from 2008-2010 inclusive.

Objectives and scope. The scheme aims to foster research collaboration of the highest quality between Australian researchers from Go8 universities and German researchers from German universities, institutes of technology and Fachhochschulen. Fachhochschulen are German higher education institutions that offer applied and practical courses of study. The scheme will support exchanges for Australian researchers to spend time at partner institutions in Germany and for collaborating German researchers to spend time at Go8 universities. It is hoped that the scheme will result in research outcomes and the exchange of skills and knowledge of mutual benefit to Australia and Germany.
