The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the German Rectors’ Conference (HRK), the Universities of Saarland (Germany) and Alicante (Spain), in cooperation with the Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation (AvH), are jointly organizing the DIES-International Deans’ Course for Latin America.
This intensive training course is part of the DIES Programme (Dialogue on Innovative Higher Education Strategies), which has been jointly coordinated by the DAAD and HRK and funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) since 2001 ( www.daad.de/dies/en).
The DIES IDC LA is jointly coordinated by Saarland University (UdS) and the University of Alicante (UA). Both institutions have been cooperating for a long period of time in projects focused on the evaluation, development, and improvement of university management in Latin American higher education institutions.
