As the German Center for Research and Innovation (GCRI) approaches its fourth anniversary, its mission remains focused on strengthening transatlantic collaboration in science and technology.
NEW YORK (October 1, 2013) – The German Center for Research and Innovation (GCRI) is proud to announce the release of its third Annual Report. Since its launch in 2010, GCRI has created and cultivated a multidisciplinary ecosystem conducive to the cross-fertilization of ideas. In 2012, GCRI events continued to attract a diverse audience from academia, industry, and government, making the Center a nucleus for creative individuals interested in sharing new ideas and developing international collaborations.
In addition to its wide range of events in 2012, GCRI significantly expanded its digital presence. The website, which received numerous enhancements during the past year, serves as an informational portal into the Center’s initiatives as well as the broader German research and innovation landscape. The website also functions as a conduit to potential funding sources and jobs for scientists and other researchers.
On an organizational level, the GCRI Foundation, Inc. a 501(c)3 nonprofit entity associated with GCRI, was formed and incorporated in mid-2012. The Foundation was created to attract potential sponsors for a number of GCRI’s initiatives, an effort that has already generated important strategic relationships with Boehringer Ingelheim, SAP, and Zeiss, Inc.
Throughout 2013, GCRI continues to actively pursue the goal of enhancing the perception of Germany as a world leader in innovation. Events currently planned will bring together thought leaders focused on Big Data, STEM education, neuroscience, renewable energy, and cyber security. By facilitating discussion, debate, and collaboration among key constituents in the U.S., Canada, and Germany, GCRI will continue the dialogue on issues and topics of critical importance to the world in which we live.
