International Cooperation

Bavaria and the North-American Province of Québec have been working closely together for many years in the areas of science, research and technology. The Bavarian Office for Research Coordination between Bavaria and Québec supports the exchange between the individual scientists and their facilities and cooperates closely, with the economy. It is our objective to jointly achieve a fortified international presence and, furthermore, to procure mutual advantages in international research and innovation competition.

• The coordination site is continuously attending to the 20 joint research projects.
• It offers - from project planning to implementation - scientific, administrative and financial support for international projects in research and development.
• It assumes, by means of targeted network activities, the role of mediator between the different research actors in Bavaria and Québec.
• It has also recently become a contact point for research cooperations between Bavaria and Alberta.

Canada Meets Germany: Study Tour 2011

Canada Meets Germany (CMG) is a unique transatlantic initiative: by (young) leaders for young leaders. It is an inter-disciplinary network of young professionals who have participated in the annual Study Tour alternating between both countries. The Study Tours provide the participants with an opportunity to learn more about the relationship between both countries and the context within which it is set from experts in the fields of politics, diplomacy, the private sector and civil society.

Each year 12 new members are selected to join the CMG Young Leaders Forum. These young leaders take part in two consecutive Study Tours, the first tour with the participants who joined the previous year, and the second with the participants who will join the following year. By overlapping the "generations" of CMG young leaders we are able to ensure a continual influx of fresh ideas and perspectives.

The annual Study Tours alternate between both countries and this year's tour in Canada will feature a 10 day program of lectures, seminars, workshops and panel discussions. The speakers of the programs include leading figures from the fields of international politics, diplomacy, economics, the private sector and civil society. CMG Study Tours also include volunteer service, cultural and social activities that allow the participants to explore the host cities. More information here
