The Fulbright German Studies Seminar, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, gives participants a firsthand look into how Germany’s political, economic and cultural systems deal with contemporary issues. For U.S. scholars, the engagement in substantive dialogue with political, academic, scientific, journalistic and cultural leaders in Germany can strengthen research and teaching. The German Studies Seminar is a group program that explores themes of transnational relevance from a German perspective and within the broader context of the European Union. The seminar will take place from June 10-19, 2013.

The Fulbright International Education Administrator Seminars, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, are designed for U.S. higher education administrators who are interested in spending an intensive two-week seminar in one of six countries: India, Japan, Korea, Germany, France, or the U.K. Each seminar offers participants an in-depth look at the higher education system, culture and society of the host country and provides an invigorating opportunity for networking with international and U.S. colleagues. Participants return to their home institutions empowered with first-hand knowledge, new professional connections and an enhanced ability to build partnerships, encourage study abroad participation and support international students. The next IEA deadline, for the seminars in Japan and Korea, is on November 1.
