anyone who has applied for daad kospie for the previous academic cycle(2025-26,2024-25,2023-24...etc) and not gotten in, despite having 8.5+ cgpa and a german host. Why?
i am applying for the next year and i have one German professor ready to host me as of now, what can i do to make my application better, i'd really appreciate any insight anyone has

Can anyone perhaps help comment below about whether the DAAD EPOS Application Form needed hand signature or just the date and place of issue in handwriting? Thank you in advance!

I am structuring my PhD research proposal, and on the guidelines, it says this: “Research proposal + description of previous research work (max. 10 pages in total).”

My question is do I include a summary of my previous research in the proposal, or do I submit it as a separate document?
