About the Award: The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), with financial support provided by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), supports academic qualification measures for individuals from developing countries who participate in the In-Country/In-Region Programme. The programme aims to enable trained professionals to address and deal with diverse societal, economic, and ecological issues in developing countries. A further objective is to sustainably improve the teaching and research conditions in the partner regions and to strengthen their higher education profile. As an additional offer for scholarship holders of the In-Country/In-Region Programme, the DAAD cooperates with German universities in organising a range of summer schools in Germany. One of these four-week measures is the training workshop "Project development for knowledge transfer" offered in cooperation with the international SEPT program (Small Enterprise Promotion and Training) located at Leipzig University, Germany. At the heart of this summer school is an individual project idea, which participants are required to include already in their application. A project idea canvas template will be provided. This canvas enables the applicants to further develop their ideas in the course of the training. Course content will always reflect on and relate to these projects. The training course will be open for students on master's level or PhD students of all disciplines. Especially welcome are students from economics and social sciences. The course will focus on four key areas: Innovation Management Entrepreneurship Promotion Participatory Teaching Methods Academic Writing and Research Project Development Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, the programme will be divided: The former two topics will be covered in the first - digital - phase in March 2021, the latter two will be subject of the second - attendance - phase at Leipzig University in September 2021. A first digital run of the 2020 summer school was successful and well received by the 2020 participants. Digital teaching tools and platforms such as Zoom and Mural, online lectures, coachings, and workshops combined with phases of self-study proved highly effective. To create a 'summer school atmosphere' over distance, the university developed a special app for communication among the participants and offered various digital social and cultural activities. Additionally, Leipzig University was able to accommodate participants' costs of increased data usage (mostly for Zoom lectures). While the digital phase of the Project Development for Knowledge Transfer summer school 2021 will be held only with participants from the 2021 intake, in the attendance phase in September 2021, participants will be joined by the 2020 group. Type: Training Eligibility: The Project Development for Knowledge Transfer training is targeting advanced students on master's or PhD level of all disciplines from developing countries. The programme is especially of interest to those who have an interest in setting up their own business or implementing their own ideas as development projects.

You may submit an application for up to two DAAD summer schools in 2021. However, participation will only be possible in one of them.
