Institutional Partnerships Worldwide (GIP) programme uses Federal Foreign Office funds to promote cooperation between institutes that offer German studies and/or German as a foreign language at German higher education institutions and at their partner institutes abroad.
The long-term impacts are, firstly, for cross-regional partnerships between German and one or more foreign institutions to be established and for higher education institutions in Germany to intensify relations with their partner regions, thereby forming networks. Furthermore, the programme aims to support the maintenance and expansion of the teaching of German language and culture in the target regions and promote the development of innovative, demand-oriented and socially relevant formats in research and teaching.
The programme also aims to contribute to increasing the appeal of the subject of German Studies and German in other countries. Finally, German Language, Literature and Culture: Institutional Partnerships (GIP) seek to contribute to the communication of language, culture and literature from Germany to other countries and promote cultural exchange.
The following programme objectives (outcomes) are derived from these impacts:- Partner institutes offer practically oriented and socially relevant degree programmes that meet local needs and reflect the academic state of the art.
- In the field of German Studies / German as a Foreign Language (DaF), contemporary content is researched using current and innovative research methods and taught according to current didactic standards.
- Joint research/teaching projects are pursued and/or publications are produced.
