The DAAD Information Center (IC) Bangkok, established in 1999, is a service centre for Thai students and scholars set up by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in cooperation with the Goethe Institut Bangkok.

The DAAD is a joint organisation of the German higher education institutions and student bodies. The DAAD sponsors academic cooperation worldwide, especially through the exchange of students, scholars, academics and scientists. The requisite funding largely comes from the Federal Government budget.

In Thailand, the DAAD has been working for more than 50 years now, providing annual fellowships and short-term research grants, supporting guest professorships and helping to establish university collaborations. Currently, Thailand is one of the target countries in a joint initiative to invite highly qualified international students and researchers to Germany.
