Department of History

The Research Ambassador program honors 17 individuals who have conducted a long-term research project in Germany at the doctoral level or above. At the end of August, the 2009 Research Ambassadors participated in a two-day seminar addressing the latest developments in German higher education and research, and the many generous funding programs available to North American scientists and academics interested in conducting research in Germany or initiating collaborative projects with German colleagues. They have now returned to their respective campuses, where they are intended to serve as liaisons for the DAAD in the US and Canada to promote research opportunities in Germany among their colleagues, peers and students.

DAAD Research Ambassadors help to inspire others to conduct research in Germany by working within their respective departments and serving as a resource to university offices (e.g. the international, fellowships and career development offices). They are also available to answer questions from students and peers from beyond their geographic areas via email. Mr. Campion will not only be promoting research in Germany, but will also be representing Georgetown University on a professional level.
