Welcome to the website of the German-American Consortium, home of the Annual German-American Research Symposium!

The German-American faculty symposia began between the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the Pädagogische Hochschule Ludwigsburg in 1981 with a student and faculty exchange in the field of foreign languages. Over the years, the symposia have broadened to include other subject areas, particularly in the field of education. The first faculty symposium occurred in Ludwigsburg in May 1995. Since then, symposia have occurred each year alternating between Charlotte and Ludwigsburg. This tradition of collaborative research and presentations will continue this summer when the Pädagogische Hochschule Ludwigsburg sponsors the 30th German-American faculty symposium on June 16-20, 2025. We invite you to be an active participant in the Symposium!
