Regional Group Münster
The Münster regional group brings together DAAD scholarship holders, alumni and friends of the DAAD. Through events, excursions and regular gatherings, we explore Münster and the surrounding Münsterland region, share experiences and build personal connections across countries and academic disciplines.
Münster – City of Science and Lifestyle
Münster is a university city, a city of bicycles and an important center for science and research. Its historic old town, Lake Aasee, harbor and vibrant academic community are all within easy reach.
The Münster Regional Group of DAAD Alumni & Friends brings together current and former DAAD scholarship holders from around the world.
Exploring Münster together
During the semester, we regularly organize events and activities. These include city tours, museum visits, lectures and guided visits, informal gatherings in cafés and restaurants, as well as cycling tours and excursions around the Münsterland region.
Our aim is not only to discover Münster, but above all to create opportunities for international DAAD scholarship holders, alumni and members of DAAD Alumni & Friends to meet and exchange ideas in an informal setting.
Münster provides ideal conditions for this, with a large international university, numerous
academic and research institutions, and a compact city where almost everything can be
reached easily by bicycle or on foot.

Dr. Anneka Esch-van Kan “I will never forget how I was warmly welcomed and found support already on the plane on my way to New York for my year abroad. Today, I enjoy helping others getting started. And it enriches my life to simply having a great time together, and meeting interesting people.” |

Jochen Bercker “Studying and living abroad, including my time as a DAAD scholar in California, shaped me both personally and professionally. Today, I want to help bring people together through international exchange and create meaningful connections here in Münster.” |

Anila Nosheen “Moving to Germany with my family and starting a PhD came with plenty of challenges. From finding accommodation and not only kids schools but helping them making friends to balancing research work and everything in between. Along the way, I met some amazing, like-minded people who made my journey easier and more meaningful. Today, I enjoy connecting people, sharing cultures, supporting others, and simply having a good time together!” |

Benedikt Kreuter „With the support of the DAAD, I had the opportunity to study for a year at Cornell Law School in the United States. During that time, I experienced firsthand how enriching it is to get to know not only a new academic environment but also the people and local community there. Now I look forward to welcoming international students to Münster, discovering the city and the region together, and making new friends.“ |
