About us

Learn more about our commitment to education

For over ten years, Ayaat Stiftung has been committed to sustainable education, future-oriented innovation and international dialogue. With projects at home in Germany and abroad, we strengthen access to knowledge, promote interdisciplinary research and create spaces for cultural understanding. Our goal: a connected world in which learning builds bridges and opens up new perspectives.
In ten years, a great network has been created, which is becoming increasingly larger and more sustainable. Some of the alumni are now working in research and teaching at universities. Others, of course, also in other important professional fields, whether in medicine or in business, whether in schools or early childhood education, whether in law or journalism. They are all role models! (Translation)

They brought clarity to complex challenges, built bridges between Germany and Iraq and enabled sustainable solutions. It was impressive to see how their approaches were transformed into tangible results.

Former Iraqi Ambassador, Germany
There are things that if they didn't already exist, you'd have to invent them. That is why I am happy and grateful that it is now — you almost have to say: finally! — the Avicenna Study Program exists. Your namesake shows you the way: Stay open, stay critical, stay engaged. Be role models for those from your families, from your communities, for all of us who strive to combine faith and commitment in science and society.
Joachim Gauck
Former Federal President
