Each year for the past 20+ years, AACRAO members have participated on the Baden-Württemberg Seminar (BW Seminar), a professional development program funded by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts. 

Begun 25 years ago, the BW Seminar is hosted by different universities in the state of Baden-Württemberg on a rotating basis. The seminar focuses on the German educational system, German-American academic equivalencies and student exchange between Germany and the U.S. Lectures and discussions are complemented by visits to primary, secondary, and tertiary educational institutions in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The seminar takes place yearly in the fall, and typically lasts for about a week.

Application information goes up on AACRAO’s and NAFSA’s websites early in the year, with applications due in the spring. A selection committee comprised of AACRAO and NAFSA members, as well as a colleague from Baden-Württemberg, chooses 12-18 participants (the number of participants varies with the location of the seminar).
