German Researcher Diaspora Networks
There are a wealth of German networks, some of which (like GAIN below) are structured as diaspora networks, while others are not necessarily diaspora networks but still promote German funding, research partnerships, et cetera, and therefore are included here for reference.
American Friends of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AFAvH)
American Friends of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AFAvH) is the professional partner of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH). Based in Washington, D.C., American Friends promotes the sponsorship programs of the AvH at scientific and professional meetings in the US in order to expand the pool of future “Humboldtians.” Through its Alumni Council, the “Humboldtians on Campus” program, various alumni activities, and its website and blog, American Friends supports and strengthens the community of over 5,000 alumni of the Humboldt Foundation in the United States. AFAvH also engages U.S. alumni and other thought leaders in workshops and other programs exploring key issues related to the globalization of the research enterprise and the implications of global science for American universities and research careers.
German Academic International Network (GAIN)
The German Academic International Network of German scholars and scientists in North America (GAIN) is a publicly funded joint initiative of the most renowned names in German research and science: the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH), the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and the German Research Foundation (DFG) as well as a number of associated members, including the German Rectors' Conference, the Fraunhofer Association, the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers, the Leibniz Association, the German National Academic Foundation (Studienstiftung), the German Cancer Aid (Krebshilfe), and the Max Planck Society
German Research Foundation / Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)
The DFG North America Office facilitates contact between scientists and researchers in Germany and North America and organizes outreach activities to showcase German research in the region. Also listed in the above section, DFG is included here to share the description and due to the North America offices located in Washington, DC; New York City; and San Francisco.
German Scholars Organization (GSO)
The German Scholars Organization e.V. (GSO) is a non-profit organization with headquarters in Berlin, Germany and a representation in San Francisco, CA, USA. It was founded in 2003 by German scientists and company representatives. The GSO maintains a global network of researchers and provides them with information and insights from the German job market. The GSO connects top talents with their peers around the world and helps them to find positions in Germany. Moreover, it offers employers access to this highly attractive target group. The GSO thus drives the competitiveness of universities and businesses and helps to ensure Germany’s continued future as a land of ideas.
