DAAD award winner 2024
My name is Diana Paola Ochoa Vásquez, and I’m 23 years old. I was born and raised in Ecuador, and one of my biggest dreams has always been to study abroad. Since 2019, I’ve been living that dream! I started my studies in Biochemistry (B.Sc.) at the MLU and have since decided to stay in Halle to continue my education at the Master’s level. Now, I’m in my final semester of my Master’s in Biochemistry. My experience abroad has been incredibly positive—Halle has truly become my second home. Because of this, I’m passionate about encouraging more international students to come and experience the wonderful opportunity of studying here at the MLU.
Sponsorship of scientific events by the DFH
In 2025, the DFH will once again publish one general and two specific calls for applications ( key topics: “Securing democracy as a challenge for society as a whole: interdisciplinary approaches” and "Artificial intelligence and its challenges for our society").
Eligible projects (e.g. research workshops or summer schools) must be organized under the leadership of at least two cooperation partners - one German and one French - and be aimed at young researchers. They must be organized for a minimum of two days to a maximum of four weeks and are funded with up to €15,000.
As you can see from the calls for proposals on this website , this is a flexible funding program that is open to all disciplines.

Welcome Day for Internationals
During our Welcome Day for international students on October 4, new incoming students were warmly welcomed to the University of Halle. During this event, students received important information and practical tips on how to start their studies, with a special focus on Erasmus and international degree students. In addition to general information about starting their studies, the event also covered specific topics such as how to complete a health insurance application, how the university works, and the various support services offered by the International Office.
The students also had the opportunity to get to know various student groups and initiatives. These included the Erasmus Student Network (ESN), Crocus Halle and Blendwerk, who introduced themselves and presented their services. We are delighted to welcome our new international students to the University of Halle and wish them a successful and smooth start to the coming semester.
