IIE and the German-American Fulbright Commission will lead a delegation of chief financial officers from fifteen U.S. higher education institutions to Germany this fall. The program, "Do More with Less – Implementing Change in Higher Education Management in Germany," will enable the CFOs to compare lean management at U.S. and German universities and identify best practices in both systems. The goal of the study visit is to introduce the U.S. administrators to the ways that German universities have responded to major financial reform pressures over the last decade and the results they have achieved, and to explore how this might be relevant to the current U.S. context.

From October 7-13, 2012, the U.S. delegation will participate in workshops, expert meetings and panel discussions, and will visit a range of German universities in Berlin, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Hamburg.
