A new face in our Sydney Information Centre
In March 2009, one of our German DAAD alumni joined our Sydney Information Centre team.
Julia Stolzenberg is a journalist and in 2008 completed her Masters degree in Media Practice
at the University of Sydney with the support of a DAAD scholarship. She has been managing
our office on a part-time basis and has already been in contact with many of you.
DAAD zeichnet deutsche Hochschulen im ERASMUS Mundus-Programm aus
Zum Ende der ersten Programmphase des EU-Exzellenzprogramms ERASMUS Mundus hat
DAAD Generalsekretär Dr. Christian Bode die deutschen Hochschulkoordinatoren mit einem
symbolischen Preis ausgezeichnet. Von 2004 bis 2008 hat das ERASMUS Mundus
Programm hervorragenden Studierenden aus der ganzen Welt mit attraktiven Stipendien ein
Masterstudium in mindestens zwei europäischen Ländern ermöglicht, das mit einem „double
degree“ oder „joint degree“ abschloss. In der ersten Programmphase waren an den
europaweit 103 ausgewählten ERASMUS Mundus-Studiengängen 54 deutsche Hochschulen
als Partner oder Koordinatoren beteiligt. In der zweiten Programmphase von 2009 bis 2013
werden zudem gemeinsame Promotionsprogramme gefördert und mit der Integrierung des
bisherigen „External Cooperation Window“ der Austausch auf allen Ausbildungsniveaus, von
Bachelor bis Post-doc, gefördert.
Mehr Informationen zu den ERASMUS Mundus Programmen finden sich auf der Website der
European Commission for Education and Training unter

DAAD Scholarship applications and outcomes for 2008/09
In 2008 we received almost 240 individual applications by Australian students, academics and
researchers across 10 different DAAD scholarship programs. There were more outstanding
applications than we could fund, but fortunately we were able to grant 81 applicants a desired
study, research or lecturing stay in Germany.
Additionally we received roughly 100 applications under the Go8 Germany Joint Research Cooperation Scheme, run by the DAAD in conjunction with the Group of Eight. After a significant
upgrade of funding 27 teams of researchers from Australia and Germany could be funded
allowing them to visit each other and work on solutions to complex problems facing both our
countries including energy production, climate change and labour market outcomes of
immigrants.
PLEASE NOTE: at the DAAD office in Sydney we often receive incomplete scholarship
applications. We try our best to notify the applicants and organise missing documents and
copies. However as we receive a large number of incomplete applications on the deadline we
don’t get the chance to ensure that they are completed. Sadly these applications may not even
be received by the assessment board due to formal reasons.

Please therefore always make sure that you hand in only complete applications, one original
plus two copies! If you hand in copies of your school certificates or university degrees, please
have one version certified by any authority, such as a justice of the peace.

Close Deadlines: Go8 Australia – Germany Joint Research Co-operation Scheme
Objective: The scheme aims to
- foster research collaborations between Australian researchers from Go8 universities and
German researchers by supporting exchanges between Australian and German
researchers
- result in research outcomes and the exchange of skills and knowledge of mutual benefit to
Australia and Germany.
Deadline
The current round (applications for stays in 2010) closes on the 30 June 2009.
Please note: To be successful, Australian applicants must ensure that their German
collaborators submit a corresponding application with the same title to the DAAD in
Germany!

Close Deadlines: Visiting Lectureships / Professorships Program - 15 July
Objective: The program aims to enable foreign academics on longer term visiting
lectureships or professorships to teach at universities in Germany, at the same time
acting as important disseminators who enable their German host university to deepen
and develop its international relations and who help to encourage foreign students to
study in Germany.
Duration: from three months up to a maximum of two years, in the case of visiting
university chairs up to four years.
Deadline (Date of receipt at the DAAD in Bonn, Referat 22, Postfach 20 04 04, 53134
Bonn): 15 July for stays to start with the German summer semester of the following year
This year 9 lecturers and professors will spend time teaching at German universities.
This will be a great experience for them but also very much appreciated by German
students and academic staff, as they will be teaching in English.
Next Deadlines: University Winter Course Grants - 15 August
Objective: In co-operation with the universities in Essen, Freiburg, Leipzig and the FU in
Berlin the DAAD offers scholarships to participate in a Deutschlandkundlicher Winterkurs.
This program is designed for Southern hemisphere students and young academics with a
sound knowledge of German and some background in German studies who are interested
in improving their language skills and understanding of contemporary affairs.
Duration: Courses last 6 weeks and are offered in the German winter months.
Deadline: 15 August for stays in January/ February of 2010
Last year we had 74 applications under this scheme and we able to grant 20 stays this year
in January and February in Germany.

Visit of Dr. Toyka-Fuong to Australia:
outcomes and plans of the DAAD for the future
Earlier this year, Dr Ursula Toyka-Fuong, the head of the Asia-Pacific branch of the
German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), visited Australia for two weeks of intense
talks with partners and counterparts in universities, research institutes and government.
Recurring themes were ways to lower Australian tuition fees for the handpicked German
DAAD scholarship holders in anticipation of the DAAD then being able to fund more
German post-graduates, PhD students and post-docs to study or research in Australia.
Aside from that, the DAAD is keen to expand the existing program with the Group of 8
onto further qualified universities. One further project for the future is to set up an
Australia-wide network for German or now nationalised former German academics at
Australian universities. It was great to have Dr Toyka with us, personally and in terms of
accelerating the progress of collaboration between the DAAD and our Australian
counterparts.
DAAD Alumni Meeting 2010
Next year from March 26 to 28, 2010 we will be holding a Big Alumni Meeting, the second
of its kind in Australia, after the first event in Canberra back in 1998. Sydney University’s
Vice Chancellor Michael Spence will host our event, which will be commencing on the
Friday evening. We are planning an interesting weekend full of remarkable keynotes,
enriching panels and workshops regarding 4 topics, based on the results of the
questionnaires that we have received (in part) from our alumni. We also will have
excursions and other events befitting the topics, fine dinners and time to socialise and
network.
May I please ask our DAAD alumni to help us in getting in touch with our ‘missing’ alumni,
and to assist us with our questionnaire and data collection (an email will be coming soon).
All this is necessary to be able to provide you with more support as DAAD alumni, and to
foster future cooperation and exchange

Internships overseas are often the first step to building a successful career. The
international organisation IAESTE (International Association for the Exchange of Students
for Technical Experience) helps students to initiate this. For over 60 years IAESTE has
arranged internships for students, in disciplines ranging from engineering to natural
sciences and even agriculture and forrestry. The German network is managed by the
DAAD. At the most recent IAESTE general conference - in which 85 countries participated
- 7000 internship placements were allocated to the countries involved. With over 1000
internships for foreign students, the German economy this year, once again, provided the
biggest allotment. In recognition of the contribution from Germany, the national office is
being awarded the "Administrator of the Year" prize in Warsaw. Furthermore, the German
national secretary Günter Müller-Graetschel has been elected to the global board. In
2009, just under 3500 German students have applied for an IAESTE Internship overseas.
In Germany the program is supported by the Foreign Department and the Department of
Education and Reserach. More information can be found at www.iaeste.de.
IAESTE provides practical training placements for students of natural and technical
sciences, agriculture and forestry. IAESTE Australia is hosted by Swinburne University.
Please apply for 2 to 3 months placements on: http://www.swinburne.edu.au/iaeste/

Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat
of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking
the very foundations of the still fragile German democracy.
The radicalised children of the Nazi generation led by
Andreas Baader (Moritz Bleibtreu), Ulrike Meinhof (Martina
Gedeck) and Gudrun Ensslin (Johanna Wokalek) are
fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new
face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the
German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past.
Their aim is to create a more human society but by
employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and
bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man
who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the
German police force Horst Herold (Bruno Ganz). And while
he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists,
he knows he’s only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.
Based on the book by and in consultation with Stefan Aust.
The thrilling movie is on screen right now! Thanks to Icon Movies, the DAAD Australia has
some double-passes to give away. Respond with the name of two DAAD scholarships to
be in with a chance of winning a free double-pass to The Baader Meinhof Complex.

Georg von Neumayer: His Australian,
German and Polar Scientific Achievements
and Legacies
The Royal Society of Victoria in association
with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology
(BOM), the Australia Meteorological and
Oceanographic Society (AMOS), and the
German Meteorological Society (DMG), invites your participation in a scientific symposium
to celebrate the achievements and legacies of an outstanding 19th-century scientist.
Georg Balthasar von Neumayer (1826-1909) was one of the most respected figures of 19thcentury Australian and German science. Born in the Palatinate in 1826, he first visited
Australia from 1852 to 1854 as a seaman and then digger on the Victorian goldfields. After
study back in Germany, he returned to Melbourne in January 1857 and established the
Flagstaff Observatory of which he served as Director from 1858 to 1863. Returning again to
Germany in 1864 he later became the foundation director of the German Hydrographic
Service and was subsequently Chairman of the Commission which organised the First
International Polar Year 1882-83. Ennobled as von Neumayer by the King of Bavaria and
elected as a Foreign Member of the Royal Society of London in 1899, he left a remarkable
legacy of achievement in Australian and German magnetism, meteorology, navigation,
oceanography and polar science. On the centenary of his death in May 1909, the Royal
Society of Victoria is pleased to honour its former Vice President and Honorary Life Member
by providing the opportunity for the broader community to learn about von Neumayer's
remarkable achievements during his years in Australia and to explore his legacy in each of
his fields of achievement.
27–30 May 2009, Royal Society Hall, Melbourne.

Regisseur Jochen Alexander Freydank aus Berlin nahm die Auszeichnung
überglücklich entgegen. Seit 1994 sind deutsche Kurzfilme insgesamt drei
Mal mit dem begehrtesten Filmpreis der Welt gewürdigt worden. Der 14
Minuten lange Film "Spielzeugland" ist ein Minidrama über Lügen in der
Nazizeit. Es geht um eine Mutter (Julia Jäger), die ihrem kleinen Sohn
verschweigt, dass die Juden aus der Nachbarschaft ins KZ deportiert
werden. Stattdessen erzählt sie ihm, die Menschen würden in eine Art
Vergnügungspark gebracht. Der Junge glaubt ihre Schilderungen und
macht sich auf, um selbst dieses "Spielzeugland" zu besuchen.
