The DAAD Regional Office New Delhi successfully concluded the multi-day event-series DAAD South Asia Alumni Days from the 8th to the 19th of November. The event was packed with a diverse range of activities offered especially to the vast network of alumni in the region.

Connecting South Asia and Germany in science and research, the Alumni Days sought to bring together and strengthen the regional networks of alumni from the region – India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Celebrating this valued network of ambassadors, several individual events took place that highlighted diverse aspects of DAAD alumni activity.

Workshop Science Communication

The highlight of the Alumni Days was the workshop series on Science Communication, one of the most important subjects in a world reeling with several global crises. Science communication facilitates science through storytelling, along with data, facts and experiences as powerful tools to make complex scientific facts understandable. The regional alumni groups that participated in the workshop gained practical knowledge in effectively communicating their work to a larger audience.

The Alumni Days brought the network closer together, helped with information- and experience-sharing and helped develop useful skills by using this as a platform for interdisciplinary exchange for the benefit of science and research.
