From 13 to 15 April some 130 South African and international alumni from the German Academic Exchange Programme (DAAD) and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, plus a slew of local and international higher education leaders, met at UCT to reflect on and to encourage further academic exchange between South Africa and Germany.

The alumni conference was themed Change by Exchange: Higher education and research transformation in South Africa and Germany.
