Celebrating 45 Years of Germany Today

Since its launch in 1979, with the support of the German Federal Foreign Office, the Germany Today program has grown into a dynamic platform that fosters meaningful dialogue between Germany and its North American partners in higher education. Over the decades, it has provided insights into Germany's evolving higher education landscape. In October, we were delighted to bring together 30 Germany Today alumni and experts from the U.S. and Canada to the University of Ottawa. The event was filled with inspiring discussions on key issues shaping the future of academia.
