Through its Educational Experts Seminars, Fulbright Germany provides an opportunity for US and German university leaders and representatives of ministries to gain insight into the geographic and institutional diversity of the American and German higher education landscapes, their governance structures and managements – on both sides of the Atlantic.
This year’s seminar on “The Impact of Digitalization on the Future of Higher Education” took place from September 30 through October 6, 2019 in Boston and New York and will continue from December 9 to 11, 2019 in Berlin. It is organized in cooperation with the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft, Hochschulforum Digitalisierung and the German Center for Research and Innovation in New York, and is part of the official “Year of German-American Friendship.”
