Robert
Bosch
Fellowships to Germany
As
the countries of the world become more interdependent, the Robert
Bosch Foundation recognizes the importance of familiarizing American
professionals with the political, economic, and cultural environment
of Europe in general and of the Federal Republic of Germany in
particular. To further this goal and to strengthen the ties of
friendship and understanding between the United States and Germany,
the Foundation is sponsoring a Fellowship Program which enables
young American professionals to participate in an intensive work
and study program in Germany. Although a prime goal of this program
is the advancement of American-German/European relations, it,
in addition, contributes to the participants' professional competence
and expertise, and broadens their cultural horizons.
The
Robert Bosch Foundation Fellows receive internships in such key
German institutions as the Federal Government, the Federal Parliament,
headquarters of private corporations, mass communications, and
other governmental or business entities. They normally work at
a high executive level. The Foundation will make every reasonable
effort to secure positions for fellows related to their professional
goals.
Candidates
for the program are competitively chosen from the fields of Business
Administration, Economics, Journalism and Mass Communications,
Law, Political Science and Public Affairs/Public Policy.
The
program runs from September 2003 through May 2004. Applications
are available online: www.cdsintl.org/rbfpintro.html
Applications,
complete with all requisite documentation, must be submitted by
