If you like the idea of
• participating in a high-profile professional development seminar,
• meeting new colleagues,
• networking,
• learning information and skills that will positively impact your work,
• creating new opportunities for yourself and your institution,
• travelling and seeing the world, and
• experiencing the sights, sounds, food, and culture of Germany,
then the Baden-Württemberg Seminar may be just the thing for you!
Each fall, thanks to the generosity of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts (MWK), north American higher education professionals have the opportunity to apply to be chosen for the prestigious B-W Seminar. 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.
Important facts to note:
• In-country lodging, excursions, and most meals are covered by the MWK. Chosen participants are responsible for their transportation to and from Germany.
• All skill levels are encouraged to apply, although generally preference has been given to those who have been in the field for several years.
• German-language ability is appreciated but not required.
• The 2015 Seminar takes place in mid-October.
• The application deadline is June 5.
