The study has been analysing the international nature of studies, research and universities in Germany since 2001. The compact edition of the annual data report contains the most important results and graphics of the main edition. These include the number of international students in Germany, data on the international mobility of German students, an overview of the countries of origin and destination of internationally mobile students worldwide, and developments in academic mobility to and from Germany. The publication integrates international data from OECD and UNESCO as well as national data from the Federal Statistical Office. In combination with other indicators, it provides a valid basis for long-term analyses.

The German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademische Austauschdienst e.V., DAAD) is the world's largest funding organization for the international exchange of students and scientists. It is supported by German higher education institutions and their students - according to current figures, 242 universities and 108 student institutions are members.
As a competence center for higher education and science research, the German Center for Higher Education and Science Research (Deutsches Zentrum für Hochschul- und Wissenschaftsforschung, DZHW) conducts data collection and analyses, produces research-based services, and provides infrastructure for research.
