enabling Ukrainians who have already been selected for a scholarship to start their scholarship at an earlier date
enabling former scholarship holders to be re-invited to Germany
being able to offer preparatory language and specialist courses as quickly and unbureaucratically as possible
enabling universities in DAAD-funded projects to flexibly use funds for academics from Ukraine.
