AICGS� New Transatlantic Exchange Program for Young Minorities
AICGS is recruiting twenty young leaders from academia, media, business, politics, and society with little or no experience with transatlantic relations for seminars and site visits in Washington and Berlin. This program is generously funded by the Transatlantic Program of the Federal Republic of Germany with Funds from the European Recovery Program (ERP) and the Federal Ministry for Economics and Energy (BMWI).
This innovative program will establish new connections between communities growing principally from an immigration background and address common challenges of integration such as unemployment, political and societal leadership, and international engagement. Project participants will include a core group of young leaders for intensive discussions. The program will also allow for interaction with the broader community of experts and advocates focused on issues of immigration, integration, and cross-cultural understanding.
Selection is based on a competitive application process. Up to a maximum of ten applicants from the U.S. and ten from Germany (age 20-30 only) will be invited to participate in the program.

Call for Participants: US-German Next Generation Project
The Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security at the Atlantic Council proposes to select a "next generation" group of twelve Americans and Germans between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five resident in the Washington, DC area to prepare a ten to twelve-page report by June 2015 spelling out a strategy to strengthen the US-German relationship.
The Scowcroft Center is seeking "Next Generation Fellows" who are experts in key issues for the bilateral relationship, such as economic/business cooperation (TTIP, energy), defense/security cooperation (NATO, Russia, Iraq, Syria), the internet/privacy/cyber and intelligence cooperation, scientific cooperation and US-German cultural and educational exchange. At the same time, the Scowcroft Center is seeking Fellows who are prepared to identify and take into account the underlying assumptions and dynamics which have shaped and will shape the US-German relationship in the future. The Center will host a series of roundtables for the Fellows. Additional Americans and Germans worldwide in the age group will be encouraged to contribute ideas to the report through an online discussion forum, the "Next Generation Network." The goal will be a report that identifies practical ways the US-German relationship can be strengthened from the perspective of a post-Cold War generation. The working title is: "Building a Common Future: A Next Generation Strategy for the US-German Relationship." The report will be released simultaneously in Washington and Berlin.
Deadline for applications is March 3, 2015.
