Sehr zu unserem Bedauern sind Elisabeth Meister und Monica Michalla nicht länger in
unserem DAAD-Team. Elisabeth arbeitet weiterhin beim Goethe-Institut und widmet sich
ansonsten verstärkt ihrem Wunschjob Übersetzen. Moni, der wir zum frischen Masters in
International Relations von der Macquarie University gratulieren, arbeitet jetzt als Market
Research Analyst im Marketing bei Bayer. Wir hier, beim DAAD, wünschen den beiden das
Allerbeste und viel Erfolg! Der Neuzugang in unserem Team ist der sehr nette und
kompetente australische Medienspezialist und Theaterkuenstler Ahilan Ratnamohan, der seit
Juli mit vielen von Ihnen bereits in Kontakt steht.
Much to our regret, Elisabeth Meister and Monica Michalla will no longer be with the DAADTeam. Elisabeth is continuing to work with the Goethe-Institut and concentrating on her
dream-job in translation. Moni, whom we congratulate on her new Masters’ degree in
International Relations from Macquarie University, is now working as a Market Research
Analyst in the Marketing-team at Bayer. All of us here wish the both of them all the best and
much success! The new signing in the DAAD-team is the very friendly and able Australian
media specialist and Performance Artist, Ahilan Ratnamohan, who since July has already
been in contact with many of you.

The scholars will receive up to $1300 per month in addition to travel costs and health
insurance, as well as other subsidies where appropriate. The DAAD calls on excellently
qualified graduates who, at the latest when they commence their scholarship-supported
studies, hold a first degree (Bachelor's, Honours or comparable academic degree). While
good German skills are looked upon highly, this is not an absolute must for those who will be

Go8 Australia – Germany Joint Research Co-operation Scheme
Deadline for second application round for exchanges in 2009 and 2010: August 22
This scheme is a joint initiative of the Go8 and the DAAD. It aims to foster research
collaboration of the highest quality between Australian researchers from Go8 universities and
German researchers to result in research outcomes and the exchange of skills and
knowledge of mutual benefit to Australia and Germany.
The scheme will support exchanges whereby Australian researchers spend time at partner
institutions in Germany, while collaborating German researchers spend time at Go8
universities in Australia. In funding this, the Go8 and the DAAD have each agreed to provide
approximately 160,000 Euros (AUD 250,000) per year for the period 2008-2010 to support
the initiative.
Exchange participants must either be employed as academic staff members in a teaching
and research, or research-only role at a Go8 university, or be PhD student involved in a
research project submitted by an eligible staff member. Applications for exchanges in 2009

„Spaghetti“ oder „Spagetti“ – aktuelle Rechtschreibreform ein Jahr in Kraft
Sie ist bei vielen Menschen in Deutschland wenig beliebt und so wird es wohl noch länger
bleiben: Die Rechtschreibreform löst auch ein Jahr nach ihrem offiziellen Start Unbehagen
und Unsicherheit aus. Dabei war am 1. August 2007 ein vereinfachtes Regelwerk
verbindlich in Kraft getreten. Ursprünglich hatten die mit dem Vorhaben betrauten Experten
viel stärker in die Schreibweise der deutschen Sprache eingreifen wollen.
Ob „kennenlernen“ oder „kennen lernen“, Schiffahrt, Schifffahrt oder Schiff-Fahrt,
überschwenglich oder überschwänglich - wer im Alltag viel schreibt, muss noch heute
häufig zum Wörterbuch greifen, aber die neue Regelung lässt dem Einzelnen mehr
Freiheiten als früher. Und die Geschichte mit dem scharfen s/sz (ß) ist klarer geworden –
nach kurzem Vokal Doppel-s (Fluss, Kuss, ich muss), nach langem Vokal bleibt das scharfe
s (Fußball, gießen). Wer also ein Wort hört oder weiß, wie man’s spricht, kann richtig
schreiben. Und wer weiß, wie man’s schreibt, kann das Wort richtig aussprechen.
Barrie Kosky and Liza Lim zurueck in Australien
Barrie Kosky, der zukünftige Chef der Komischen Oper Berlin, ist erst
mal zurück in Australien, um bei die Premiere seiner neuesten Oper The
Navigator, komponiert von der Australierin Liza Lim, Regie zu führen.
Der in Melbourne geborene Kosky war Künstlerischer Leiter der Gilgul
Theatre Company und des Adelaide Festivals, bevor er an die
Opernhäuser in Essen, Berlin und der Hauptstadt der Theaterliebhaber Wien ging. Sein
Erfolg machte ihn überall in den deutschsprachigen Ländern bekannt. 2012 übernimmt er
den Chefsessel der Komischen Oper Berlin. The Navigator hat gerade beim Brisbane
Festival Prämiere gefeiert und war total ausverkauft. The Navigator ist noch einmal zu
sehen, dieses Mal beim Melbourne International Arts Festival vom 9. bis zum 12. Oktober
und ist sicher sehenswert.

Liza Lim war bis zum Sommer als Artist in Residency Gast des Berliner Künstlerprogramms
des DAAD. Hier komponierte sie die Oper "The Navigator", die am 30. Juli in Brisbane
uraufgeführt wurde. Die Oper ist der vorläufige Höhepunkt ihres Schaffens.
Die bewegende Geschichte um Liebe und Transformation speist sich aus
dem indischen Epos „Mahabharata" und Motiven um "Tristan und Isolde".
Deutsche Musikfreunde konnten Teile des neuen Werkes schon im Frühjahr
in Berlin live erleben. "Das Jahr in Berlin gehört zu den kreativsten meiner
bisherigen Laufbahn", sagt die international renommierte Komponistin, die
1966 geboren wurde.

1908/2008. Vor 100 Jahren - Kandinsky, Münter, Jawlensky, Werefkin in Murnau
11.07.2008 - 09.11.2008, Murnau bei München
Im August 1908 kam eine besondere Künstlergruppe aus München zu einem Mal-Aufenthalt
nach Murnau: Kandinsky und Co. entwickelten eine neue expressive Malerei, die
europäische Kunsttraditionen nachhaltig veränderte. In und von Murnau und seiner
abwechslungsreichen Umgebung entstanden 1908 und in der Folgezeit viele dieser
ausdrucksstarken, für den deutschen Expressionismus charakteristischen und
wegweisenden Werke, von denen sich heute viele in bedeutenden Sammlungen der ganzen
Welt befinden. Erstmalig werden diese Werke für die Sonderausstellung im Schlossmuseum
Murnau wieder zusammengeführt:
