The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has reopened its office in Kyiv after more than two years. The DAAD information centre had been closed after the russian full-scale attack on Ukraine, but it continued to operate digitally from Germany. With this reopening, the DAAD is improving its counselling services for students and researchers and, together with its member universities, is committed to long-term support for Ukraine through academic exchange with Germany.

- (in German) Wiedereröffnung des DAAD-Informationszentrums in Kyjiw
- (in Ukrainian): Відкриття Інформаційного центру DAAD у Києві
Shortly after the russian invasion, the DAAD set up the “National Academic Contact Point Ukraine”. The platform brought together the wide range of information and support services offered by German universities and academic institutions for Ukrainian students and researchers. In addition, Ukrainian students and researchers who had to flee Ukraine were able to obtain personalized advice on academic career opportunities and qualifications. Information on studying and researching in Germany as well as additional advisory services can now be found on the Kyiv Information Centre website. The DAAD continues to advise its member universities and researchers on academic cooperation with Ukraine via the Competence Centre for International Academic Cooperation (KIWi).
