50 Years of German-Canadian STI Cooperation
|
|
|
|
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Bilateral
Intergovernmental Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement
signed in 1971 by Canada and Germany, paving the way for a
successful partnership between both countries to advance
technological innovation and scientific excellence.
As a result of five decades of close and amicable partnership,
collaboration between Canada and Germany on science, technology,
and innovation (STI) today extends to various fields and includes
more and more organizations.
Under the auspices of the German Federal Ministry of Education and
Research (BMBF) and Global Affairs Canada (GAC), together with the
National Research Council of Canada (NRC), the German-Canadian STI
community celebrates in 2021 the successful and trustful
transatlantic collaboration through a series of events highlighting
the diversity of research and technology projects.

An Innovative Platform for Transatlantic Cooperation
|
|
|
The German Canadian Concourse has a track record of bringing together thought leaders and decision-makers on up-to-date innovative topics with a relevance to Canada and Germany.
The GCC is a conference series in the spirit of the recent declaration by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and Canada's National Research Council (NRC) on strengthening German-Canadian cooperation on innovative projects. The GCC is an established format to foster the process of connecting Canadian and German initiatives. With German-Canadian exchange expected to be boosted by newly-signed Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), the GCC aims to expand its platform for showcasing successful examples of German-Canadian cooperation and for launching further collaboration between the two countries.

The GCC Match-Making Process
|
|
|
The German Canadian Concourse is about match-making.
Bringing together German and Canadian thought leaders from topic-matter relevant industries, academic institutions and the public sector during the daylong event creates a
unique opportunity to generate transatlantic linkages between participants.
Provided in part by the Transatlantic Symposium format, which uses a live video-link connecting the German and Canadian Concourse Hubs, the GCC also offers a custom match-making service
built into the conference itself. As part of this service, participant profiles generated during the registration are used to connect matched parties ad-hoc using video booths to bridge
the Atlantic whenever required.
Participants are offered the option to have their personal profiles included into a follow-up on potential transatlantic opportunities.
