Kick-Off-Konferenz für die Ta'ziz-Projekte des DAAD - FH Brandenburg

For the kick-off meeting for the DAAD Ta'ziz projects, the TH Brandenburg had more than 50 guests from the Middle East, for example from Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan. On the part of the German partner network, representatives from the H-BRS, the University of Darmstadt and the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena also took part in the kick-off meeting "Digitisation of Cultural Heritage" and the "Consolidating Meeting".

The "Ta'ziz" programme brings together various universities from Germany, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon to introduce students to the principles and techniques of digitisation, for example of archaeological sites, in workshops. The term "Ta'ziz", which comes from Arabic, means "strengthening/consolidation" and is intended to clearly express the programme's goal.

Each participating university receives six scholarships to send students to these workshops. 

Bachelor students in the Department of Computer Science at the H-BRS can submit applications for participation in the workshops until 30.06.2023 with a transcript of grades, curriculum vitae and a letter of motivation via the International Affairs Team at the following e-mail address: international@inf.h-brs.de.

  • Iraq: University of Mosul,
  • Kurdistan-Iraq: Tishk International University in Erbil,
  • Lebanon: American University of Beirut,
  • Jordan: German-Jordanian University, Jordanian University of Science and Technology, Hashemite University

together with the German partner universities:
