The 2018 Baden-Württemberg Seminar will be held in Konstanz, Germany

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 Baden-Württemberg (BW) Seminar on German-American educational exchange.

This year, a delegation of 14 AACRAO and NAFSA members will be invited to attend the seminar in Konstanz, from Saturday, October 20 to Saturday, October 27.

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-country lodging, excursions, and most meals are covered by the German MWK. Chosen participants are responsible for their transportation to and from Konstanz, 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 application deadline is June 15.
