Training students from developing countries - an important contribution to promoting development

The education of specialists and managers from developing countries is an essential component of development cooperation, because investment in education is one of the most effective and sustainable measures for promoting development. By training students from developing countries, universities make an important contribution to poverty reduction and sustainable development, and thus also to combating the causes of migration. After completing their studies, professionals from developing countries make a significant contribution to solving development problems in their home countries, often taking up key positions in public administration, educational institutions, development cooperation projects and the private sector.
