Hilde Domin Programme

Students and doctoral candidates who are at risk of being formally or de facto denied educational rights and/or other rights in their country of origin, due to their ethnic, sexual, gender or religious identity and/or their political or civic engagement. By definition of the DAAD, political, civic and similar engagement encompasses either the participation in groups or individual actions based on liberal and democratic principles aspiring to contribute to a positive social change in communities. The programme serves to provide students and doctoral candidates with an opportunity to begin or complete a study or research degree at a higher education institution in Germany.
