DIES NMT Call for Proposals: Cohort 23-24

01/31/2023 - 15:15 a 02/12/2023 - 15:15

The DIES National Multiplication Trainings (NMT) Programme was jointly initiated by the German Exchange Service (DAAD) and the German Rectors’ Conference (HRK) in 2013 with the aim to support DIES Alumni in their roles as multipliers in higher education management and to promote the sustainability of the DIES training courses.

Under the NMT Programme, alumni of the different DIES training courses are encouraged to submit joint training proposals in the area of higher education management and to implement training activities in their home countries for higher education managers who have not yet attended a DIES training course.

Until now, NMT has undergone four cohorts, i.e. 2013-2014, 2017-2018, 2019-2020 and 2021-2022, supporting a total of 54 alumni teams to implement multiplication training in their home countries. In order to continue supporting the growing number of DIES alumni as multipliers in higher education management, the Center for Quality Development (ZfQ) at the University of Potsdam, which has been coordinating the NMT Programme since 2017, herewith launches the Call for Proposals for the NMT Cohort 2023-2024.

ELIGIBLE APPLICATIONS

In order to apply for participation in the DIES NMT 2023-2024 cohort, applicants need to form a Training Committee that meets the criteria of one of the following application groups:

Application Group 1:

New Multiplication Training New multiplication training is open to Alumni who have not yet implemented a NMT in the past

  • Proposals are handed in by a Training Committee of three to four persons; 1 In exceptional case, the majority of the training committee have not implemented a multiplication training yet.
  • One alumna/alumnus who successfully completed a DIES training course between May 2019 and December 2022 needs to apply as the lead applicant. The lead applicant's institution will be the contract partner and receive and handle the NMT Programme funds;
  • Alumni, who completed DIES training courses earlier than May 2019 can apply as team members, but not as the lead applicant (See Annex 1 for eligible DIES courses);
  • Non-DIES alumni can join the Training Committee as a team member. However, there is a maximum of one non-DIES alumna/alumnus per Training Committee.

Application Group 2:

Continuing Multiplication Training The continuing multiplication training is designed for existingTraining Committees that already implemented a multiplication training course in one of the past cohorts. With the Continuing Multiplication Training, the Training Committee should consolidate their role as multipliers in higher education management and further promote the sustainability of the past multiplication training. Continuing Multiplication Training proposals are expected to have a higher own contribution in terms of budget and/or other sources of funding (Please further see 5. Funding of multiplication training courses). The first workshop of the continuing NMT needs to be implemented in 2023.

  • Proposals are handed in by a Training Committee that offered a multiplication training, but not yet a continuing multiplication training in the past NMT Programme cohorts (2013-2014, 2017-2018, 2019- 2020 and 2021-2022);
  • One DIES alumna/alumnus from the existing Training Committee needs to apply as the lead applicant. The lead applicant’s institution will be the contract partner, receive and handle the NMT Programme funds.
  • Non-DIES alumni or DIES alumni who were not in part of a previous NMT Training Committee, can join as a team member. However, per Training Committee there is maximum either one Non-DIES alumna/alumnus or one DIES alumna/alumnus who was not in a NMT Training Committee before.

General Structure and Timeframe

The Multiplication training activities are conceptualised and implemented by the Training Committee in their home country or, upon special justification, in the region. Following the DIES training course methodology, the propose training should include two interconnected presence workshops of three to four days each, with a break of about five months in between. The proposed multiplication training should have at least 20 participants and can start in October 2023 2 at the earliest and end in October 2024 at the latest.

During the multiplication training, participants need to work on institutional change projects, which are mentored by the Training Committee. A mentoring concept needs to be elaborated upon in the application for the NMT Programme.

In order to apply, the Training Committee must register at https://www.diesnmt.org/s/nmt23Reg/en.html and fill out the application form and upload the required documents online.

Deadline The online application must be handed in until 12 February 2023 at 18:00 CET at the latest.
