In the winter term of 2011/12 576 Indonesians successfully gradu- ated from a German university - 100 more than in the year before. Additionally, nine faculty-to-faculty -partnerships between German and Indonesian universities were sponsored under DAAD schemes. DAAD’s Indonesia budget has steadily been growing. The Jakarta Office was present at 31 education fairs and information events all over the country, and the seven DAAD lecturers or- ganized further events at their host universities. Collaboration with DAAD alumni has again been a particular pleasure. Five DAAD sup- ported alumni seminars were conducted in various academic fields all over Indonesia in 2013. Supported by the enthusiasm of our alumni in East Java we launched an ac- tion plan to further strengthen academic ties there (p.2). Our DIES alumni successfully applied for DAAD-funding to organize their own training course — the “National Multi- plication Training” — for their peers in Indonesia and gained another leading player in Indonesian Higher Education as a partner, KOPERTIS 7 (p.2). Read more on upcoming scholarships (p.5), DIES activities (p.4), and the EAST JAVA ACTION PLAN (p.3) in this newsletter! We have also prepared a short guideline for those of you who want to set up more structured and broader co-operation between their universities and a German university partner (p.4).

Kind regards, Dr. Irene Jansen Content More t han 50 rect ors f rom East Java commit t ing t hemselves t o act ion Page 2 Jakarta Newsletter I DIES-alumni, with support from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) through funds of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), in cooperation with Ma Chung University and KOPERTIS 7 (Regional Coordination of Private Universities), jointly organ- ize a National Multiplication Training in East Java. This course is part of the DIES program (Dialogue on Innovative Higher Education Strategies) and an initiative of the alumni themselves. DIES Program has been jointly coordinated by the DAAD and HRK (German Rectors’ Conference) since 2001. The key objective of the new NMT course is to bring together academic leaders such as rectors, vice rectors, deans, vice-deans, and heads of departments from private universities of the East Java Region, to equip them with management and leadership skills by providing them to face the challenge of leadership and to prepare them with the skills required to create a productive culture. The 1 st part of this program was held 16 th -19 th December, 2013, in Ma Chung University. On this occasion a Memorandum of Understanding on Capacity Building Cooperation between DAAD Jakarta and KOPERTIS 7 was signed. We are planning to hold the 2 nd part of the NMT course in the 2 nd week of May, 2014, in Surabaya, in cooperation with Universitas Surabaya. The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) together with the Free University of Berlin and experts from the University of Bonn organize a joint training course on “Proposal Writing for International Research Projects”. The Proposal Writing Course is also part of the DIES Program. The aim of this training course is to enable younger PhD holders to design, write, plan and budget a promising research proposal according to international stan- dards that could successfully raise third party funding. 30 candidates (28 from Indonesia, 1 from Myanmar, 1 from Philippines) out of 55 applicants were selected and invited to participate in the 1 st part of this program in Malang. The opening ceremony was held in Ma Chung Univer- sity with support from Prof. Leenawaty Limantara PhD, the Rector of Ma Chung University, a DAAD alumna herself and the Indonesian Alexander von Humboldt spokesperson. The 2 nd part of the Proposal Writing Course will be held in June 2014 in Yogyakarta, in cooperation with Universitas Gadjah Mada.

Prior to applying for one of the many programs for structured collaboration that DAAD offers, a resilient relationship with a German partner should al- ready have been established, because most of the relevant DAAD funds for such programs listed on our website under the category “... for facul- ties / Higher Education Institution” would have to be applied for by the Ger- man university partner. The category can be found under this link: http:// www.daadjkt.org/index.php?daad-scholarships. Consequently, the first step would be to find a suitable partner. The follow- ing website will help you to find German universities, sorted by subject area, location and number of research institutes: http://research- explorer.dfg.de/research_explorer.en.html. The next step: the following DAAD programs might then help you to get to know your partner and establish a relationship with a German institution: Paying your partner a visit with your students: Study Visits for Groups of Foreign Students to Germany, Study Seminars and Practicals for Groups of Foreign Stu- dents to Germany Paying your partner a research visit; work on a joint project with him / her / the institution / lab / library …: The Indonesian-German Scientists Program DAAD Short Term Research Grants for Stays and Study Vis- its for University Academics and Scientists Inviting your partner’s students: https://www.daad.de/rise-weltweit/en/ Inviting a lecturer of the German institution for a short-term lectureship at your university (1 – 6 months): Short-term Visiting Lectureships Emeriti Program For more information, please visit our website; follow us on twitter and like our facebook page.

My three months internship at the DAAD office in Jakarta is over now and I’m more than happy that I got the chance! My name is Janna-Lea Benke and I am a 22-year-old student from the University of Hamburg. I study ‘Languages and Cultures of Southeast Asia’. I have always been interested in that re- gion and before I started my internship I took two months off to travel through Indonesia which I really enjoyed! At the DAAD office I helped organizing the selection of the IGSP (Indonesian- German Schol- arship Program) and the PhD Program. I particularly liked about my internship that there was a varied scope of tasks. I also accompanied my colleagues to meetings, I advised students and parents at the ‘EHEF’ (European Higher Education Fair) and JERIN Festival about study- ing in Germany. Every day was different and I sometimes had to manage new challenges. I will definitely come back to Indonesia to discover more from the beautiful country and to visit the friends who taught me a lot about the culture and language. Internship at DAAD Regional Office Jakarta More about Alumni Updates on scholarship programs Updates on DAAD Jakarta Webinars in 2014 Report of first DAAD Quarterly 2014 Next Edition DAAD Indonesia German Universities promote themselves Todays’ business environment has become highly complex, dynamic and glob- alised. At the same time there is a paradigm shift in doing business. From Global Corporate Leaders to small business start-ups there is a rising in con- sciousness for more corporate responsibility. What this new business environ- ment needs are managers with intercultural competencies, new leadership ca- pabilities and awareness for sustainability issues. And this is exactly what the MA International Business & Intercultural Management offers prospective stu- dents. It is a multi-disciplinary Master Programme that has been developed by the university’s business faculties in close consultation with business and in- dustry in response to a challenging and rapidly developing organisational envi- ronment. The MA International Business & Intercultural Management is fully instructed in English and qualifies first-degree graduates for management positions in glob- ally operating organisations. With a focus on sustainable practices, it teaches relevant managerial and analytical skills as well as multi-disciplinary knowledge that equips graduates for strategic management positions in departments such as marketing and finance, as well as for leadership functions in international projects. Potential employers include globally operating companies, NGOs, international organisations and the public sector. Additionally, the programme entitles graduates to pursue further academic studies such as a PhD pro- gramme.
