On Monday 14.12.2015, at SEAMEO Regional Training Center, HCMC, DAAD organized the seminar "Research in Germany" to introduce about the German research landscape in general as well as research opportunities at German universities and various scholarship programs.

Germany is home of 105 Nobel Laureates. Beside academic area, industry also plays an important role in research. Three pillars of the German research sector are universities (1), non-universities/research institutes (2) and industrial research (3). There are good reasons for studying or doing research in Germany, such as diverse range of study and research opportunities, excellence in research and instruction, close link between theory and practice, strong international focus and diverse funding opportunities.
