The German Center for Research and Innovation (GCRI) team wishes all of our E-NNOVATION GERMANY readers happy holidays and a healthy and successful new year!
With this newsletter, we would like to take the opportunity to express our appreciation for your interest in our work. Since our opening in 2010, we have been able to enhance the visibility of the German research and innovation landscapes, leading to new collaborative projects and investments in German technology. Many of these partnerships were initiated during events organized by GCRI and our partners. We invite you to visit our website www.germaninnovation.org for event videos, podcasts, summaries, and updates as well as job postings, news, and funding opportunities. For additional up-to-date information or to engage in our online conversation, join us on Twitter @GCRI_NY.
Happy Holidays!
Joann, Jennifer, Julia, and Bosse

Since the launch of the GCRI website www.germaninnovation.org in 2011, we have added new features to showcase Germany as a land of ideas and a destination for research, work, study, and business. Germany is one of the most popular destinations in the world for international students and researchers, and offers a wealth of funding for such pursuits. The GCRI website provides an in-depth overview of funding organizations, databases, and programs. Under Funding & Resources, we have organized funding programs into five different categories: Undergraduates, Graduates & Doctoral Students, Postdocs, Faculty & Researchers, and Business & Industry. Our Entrepreneurship Funding page outlines resources at the federal and state levels. Interested in pursuing a doctorate in Germany? Visit Ph.D. in Germany for more information on individual vs. structured doctoral programs, requirements, and financing opportunities.
Our Videos page features video recordings of our past events, such as Stress and the City with Prof. Dr. Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg and Transatlantic Perspectives on Social Innovation with Prof. Dr. Jürgen Howaldt. For those who prefer to listen to past GCRI discussions and presentations, our Podcasts page allows you to download recordings and listen to them right away. Visit our Newsletters page, which contains all of our past E-NNOVATION GERMANY issues. On the Interviews page, we present E-NNOVATION GERMANY interviews with Germany's leading experts.
