The Volkswagen postdoctoral fellowships in postwar
German history were made possible by a grant from the Volkswagen Foundation
from 1991 to 1997 and were administered in conjunction with the American
Institute for Contemporary German Studies at The Johns Hopkins University.
The grants were awarded to promising young historians and political scientists
from Europe and the United States in order to support their research on
post-World War II German history and German-American relations. The fellows
were expected to pursue their research at archives in the Washington, D.C.,
area and to deliver lectures at the two institutes on the subjects of their
research.

This program, established in 1995, brings together
some of the most promising graduate students from Germany and the United
States who are nearing the completion of their doctoral dissertations.
Each year sixteen students, eight from Germany and eight from the United
States, meet either in Washington, D.C., or at a German university. The
program is coordinated by representatives of the GHI and Georgetown University.
In addition, several historians from both countries are invited as mentors
to guide discussions. Surveys of the participants following the seminars
provide statistical evidence of the program's success. More than 90 percent
rate the seminars as "excellent" or "good", and 85 percent deem them useful
to their future scholarly endeavors. Equally high percentages of participants
approved of the seminars' size, number of presenters, organization, and
level of discussion.

The Summer Program, in existence from 1990 to 1995,
was made possible by a generous grant from the Volkswagen Foundation. It
introduced graduate students to German handwriting styles of the fifteenth
to the nineteenth centuries; exposed them to a variety of German archives,
libraries, and other research centers; and familiarized them with major
research topics in German history. The program also encouraged the exchange
of ideas among younger scholars. In its first three years the program had
only American participants; during its last three years it was expanded
to include German doctoral students. The program will be revived in modified
form in 1999.
