The International Virtual Academic Collaboration (IVAC): new DAAD funding opportunities for transatlantic virtual academic collaboration

Name

(IVAC) program promotes and supports the integration of digital collaboration formats in study programs through a number of objectives, including the development of digital competencies of students and teachers, the cross-university digitization of processes in study, teaching and blended mobility, the extended access to international university programs of specific target groups (e.g. non-traditional students or students who are unable to travel), as well as the formation of a community of practice.

Teaching concepts with the following regional focal points can be supported through IVAC:

 1. transatlantic virtual academic cooperation

2. international virtual academic cooperation in Europe and worldwide

German universities that cooperate with a foreign partner university (in the case of transatlantic cooperation, Canadian university) are eligible to apply. Your German partners will need to apply directly to this funding opportunity. We recommend that you let them know about your interest to collaborate under the framework of this program.
