The higher education cooperation programme APPEAR has been working to improve the living conditions in countries of the Global South for 10 years already.

A key aspect of the Austrian Development Cooperation’s programme, which is implemented by the OeAD, is that it is not based on one-sided knowledge transfer but on partnership on equal footing. Since 2010 43 partnerships have been established between Austrian universities or universities of applied sciences and scientific institutions in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Arab region. 126 foreign master's or PhD students have been able to study in Austria thanks to a scholarship.

To mark the anniversary the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) includes a contribution about APPEAR's success in the current issue of its "Weltnachrichten" ("World News").
