The
The German Scholars Organization (GSO) is a non-profit organization founded in 2003 in Berlin to support and promote scientists in their careers.
The main mission of the GSO is to advise scientists independently and on equal terms, connect them with peers and experts in all sectors, and promote them together with foundation partners through various programs. The focus is on strengthening the scientific location of Germany and providing career opportunities for young scientists as well as for potential scientific returnees from abroad[1][3].
The GSO is committed to sustainably promoting young scientists. Through its programs and initiatives, the organization aims to fully exploit the potential of scientists and build bridges between science and industry. Collaboration with various foundations and organizations ensures long-term support and promotion of the scientific community[1][3].
The GSO team consists of experienced professionals, including Dr. Anne Schreiter as Managing Director, Dr. Birte Seffert as Senior Project Manager for funding programs and counseling, and other experts from science, science management, and industry. The board, chaired by Dr. Stephanie Dittmer and Vice Chair Kerstin Dübner-Gee, supports the mission of the GSO through their professional expertise[2][5].
The German Scholars Organization is thus a central point of contact for scientists who wish to advance their careers in Germany and beyond, and makes an important contribution to strengthening the German scientific system.
