Melissa Hopson, President Indianapolis-Cologne Sister City Committee
I would like to thank Dr. Eva Bosbach and the University of New York Office for their fantastic support in organizing our Indianapolis Salon group’s trip to Cologne in October 2025. Eva and her team connected us with Christiane Biehl at the University of Cologne and were incredibly helpful in organizing meetings with Professor Johanna Hey and Professor Martin Waßmer, as well as Arnd Henze from WDR. Their short presentations and the discussions with them shed light on Germany’s system and culture. The experience was enlightening and inspiring, and our group loved learning more about Germany and Cologne while being there. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
We are grateful for this meaningful exchange and look forward to future collaborations.

Prof. Dr. Peter Dannenberg, Professor of Human Geography, University of Cologne
In October 2025, I had the opportunity to publicly share our lively discussions on future-ready food systems in times of multiple crises with a very international and interdisciplinary audience, together with my esteemed colleague Angela Bedard-Haughn. We were very excited about the number of participants at the event and were delighted with the positive response and questions. We found the smooth preparation by the New York Office to be very successful, as it was the activation of their networks and other interested parties that made this great response possible in the first place. The professional and very pleasant moderation by Steven E. Sokol, President and CEO of the American Council on Germany, rounded off what was an all-round successful event for us!
Prof. Dr. Graziana Gatto, Professor of Neurobiology of Motor Control, University of Cologne
I am very grateful to Dr. Eva Bosbach and the University of Cologne New York Office for organizing the "Motor Health - Transatlantic Cooperation Strategies and Tech Transfer in Sensorimotor Neuroscience" panel discussion at NYU Langone Health in October 2025. The event brought together neuroscientists and the public, creating an engaging space for sharing new research and ideas and bridging the gap between academic research and real-world application and significantly increased the visibility of our work in sensorimotor neuroscience within the North American research community. The post-panel reception was especially valuable for meeting colleagues and exploring new research partnerships. In addition, it was fantastic to directly connect with representatives from DFG North America and DWIH New York.
Dr. Bosbach and her team managed every aspect of the event with great care, from coordinating panelists and moderator engagement to handling logistics, including catering, advertising, and registration. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured that we could focus entirely on the scientific exchange and networking opportunities. I was particularly impressed by how seamlessly they brought together multiple partners - the German Center for Research and Innovation (DWIH) New York, the German Research Foundation (DFG), the German Consulate General, and NYU Langone Health - to make the evening such a success.
The University of Cologne New York Office continues to be an invaluable asset for researchers like myself, creating tangible opportunities for international collaborations and ensuring that our research reaches audiences who can help advance both scientific understanding and real-world applications. Thank you, Dr. Bosbach and team, for your unwavering support in strengthening transatlantic cooperation!
Dr. Marita Mehlstäubl, Head of Transfer & Scouting, Gateway Excellence Start-up Center, University of Cologne
Joining the DWIH New York's FutureForum at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard as part of the expert workshops was an extraordinary experience. It offered a unique opportunity to dive into Boston’s vibrant and open life science ecosystem and to witness first-hand how excellent research institutions like MIT and Harvard can serve as crystallization points for entire innovation ecosystems. A very special thanks to Eva Bosbach and the UoC NY Office, which made it possible for me to represent the University of Cologne at the event, and which in general masterfully creates opportunities for connection and makes transatlantic collaboration tangible. Thanks to the Office’s efforts, many concrete opportunities for cooperation have emerged for our work at the Gateway ESC – especially in the field of Life Sciences.
What impressed me most at this event was the culture of openness and exchange: researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, and corporation representatives coming together in one place, creating countless opportunities for networking, feedback, and collaboration. The value of experiencing such an ecosystem in person and of building connections on the ground cannot be overstated – it sets the foundation for new collaborations and concrete touchpoints for our future work!
Prof. Dr. Marita Jacob, Professor for Sociology, University of Cologne
It was my pleasure to present alongside Claudia Buchmann from Ohio State University at the Transatlantic Tandem Talk on "Inequality in Higher Education in the U.S. and Germany"! Thank you for organizing it, Dr. Eva Bosbach and your team at the University of Cologne New York Office. You have created a forum conducive to scholarly dialogue and knowledge exchange and I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this event and commend your efforts in bringing together transatlantic perspectives on this and other relevant topics.
The discussion addressed important challenges of inequality by social class/family background and by gender in the U.S. and Germany while providing valuable comparative insights between the different higher education systems. Peter Kerrigan from DAAD New York provided effective moderation, facilitating a substantive exchange of perspectives throughout the session. The event was well-structured and very carefully prepared, with over 450 registrations indicating a very high level of interest. The strong turnout further underscores the importance of continuing these cross-cultural conversations about inequalities in higher education and how to mitigate them.

Dr. Claudia Buchmann, College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor in Sociology, The Ohio State University
“Thank you, Eva, and your team at the University of Cologne NY Office for your expert guidance and support to make our Transatlantic Tandem Talk a success!
When Prof. Marita Jacobs from Uni Cologne invited me to work with her to participate in a discussion on inequality in higher education, I had no idea what to expect, but thought it could be fun, so I agreed. From the beginning of the process and throughout several months of preparation, Dr. Eva Bosbach and her team were fantastic to work with. They provided all the guidance for us to know how to design a talk that was in our area of expertise and interesting and accessible to a broad audience. They were flexible and professional and through our several preparatory meetings, I gained confidence that this experience would go very smoothly. And it did!
The audience engagement was great, and I feel proud to have participated in providing insights to higher education inequality in the U.S. and Germany and, more importantly, to foster collaboration and connection between the two countries in this small way! I will be looking forward to viewing more TTTs in the future.”

It was my pleasure to moderate the Transatlantic Tandem Talk “On Thin Ice” about the global impact of climate change in the Arctic. I would like to thank Dr. Eva Bosbach, Executive Director of University of Cologne's North American office. Her welcoming and introductory remarks contributed much to the program, in addition to her exceptional preparatory work and that of the office's team, and the co-hosting partners leading up to the event. Dr. Bosbach's vision for what the Transatlantic Tandem Talks can achieve was fully realized in this event. In the nearly 25 years since my Alexander von Humboldt Bundeskanzler Fellowship year in Germany in 1991 I have often engaged in some form of German-U.S. collaboration and cooperation, and am persuaded that it is needed now more than ever, and that it does make a difference. It was a pleasure working with everyone on this. Thank you for the chance to have participated!

Charlotte Rabsch, incoming University of Cologne Master’s student in Business Administration with a focus on Corporate Development
The New York office of the University of Cologne has played a pivotal role in expanding my professional network and broadening my horizons. During my time as an intern in New York, I got in touch with the New York office of the University of Cologne, and through their efforts, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a visit to the Deutsche Bundesbank, a highlight that enriched my understanding of finance. In addition, I was introduced to the University of Cologne's remarkable summer school program, which reinforced my decision to pursue my Masters at the University of Cologne because of the many international opportunities it offered. This experience facilitated my initial connections with students from Cologne and set the start for a network in the new city. I am immensely grateful for the role the New York Office has played in shaping my path and fostering my global academic aspirations.

Prof. Dr. Ansgar Büschges, Professor for Animal Physiology and Neurobiology, former Vice Rector for Academic Staff, University of Cologne
The New York Office is an invaluable asset to the University of Cologne. The events which we hosted together in New York and Washington, D.C. exemplified how important and helpful such a liaison office is specifically in North America. Due to the office’s immense network of high-level contacts, we could present our research to a highly interested and diverse audience, including experts from my own area of expertise, political stakeholders, and important contacts in the research funding landscape. Thanks to the office we could easily forge new contacts in the U.S. for future transatlantic collaborations, while at the same time showcasing the fruitful cooperation of our current project. The outreach was remarkable, for our U.S. network as well as for the UoC back in Germany, as I got to witness myself: Not only were my colleagues and I approached at the Society for Neuroscience Conference in Washington, D.C. about our event organized in New York by the UoC NY Office, but I was also contacted by an early career scientist from Columbia University who attended that event and now wants to return to Germany. Conversations between her and the UoC are now in progress. I was also particularly grateful for the opportunity to speak directly with DFG North America’s Program Director as well as with the Director Science and Technology of the German Embassy. These exchanges will be helpful not only for my current project with the C3NS network, but also for potential future UoC projects which can benefit from transnational funding and networks. Thank you Dr. Bosbach and the New York Office for organizing these excellent and productive events for us and for being a champion of our university in the US and Canada!

Dr. Hillel J. Chiel, Professor of Biology, Neurosciences and Biomedical Engineering, Case Western Reserve University
I am deeply grateful for the hard work of Dr. Eva Bosbach and her team in arranging the two meetings that allowed my colleagues and me to showcase the exciting collaborative work we have been doing. The panel allowed the collaborators on our interdisciplinary, transnational project, funded in part by the NSF and the DFG, to provide the general public an understanding of the ways in which collaborations between neuroscientists and engineers are leading to deeper insights into how nervous systems control complex, adaptive behavior, and how this knowledge can advance the state of the art in robotics. I was particularly grateful that Dr. Bosbach and her team spent considerable time arranging for me to participate remotely, because I could unfortunately not attend in person. Thanks to their hard work, I was able to fully participate in the panel discussion. The work that Dr. Bosbach and her team are doing is very important for fostering international, interdisciplinary work and sharing its results with a broader public.

Amy Davidson Sorkin, Journalist, Author and Staff Writer at The New Yorker
Moderating the panel on "Democracy and Education in the Age of Renascent Nationalism" at German House in New York this March was a memorable and significant experience for me. The day before, it became clear that the pandemic had reached the city, and Dr. Eva Bosbach and her team at the University of Cologne's New York office quickly pivoted, transforming what had been intended as an event before a large audience into an interactive livestream. As a result, the panelists, including academics and the head of Germany's office of civilization, were still able to exchange ideas, debate, and answer questions from the audience. The discussion was doubly meaningful—it was both a timely exploration of democracy and education and an example of how to sustain an academic community even in difficult times.

Prof. Dr. Frauke Kraas, Institute of Geography, University of Cologne
The virtual event “Sustainable Megacities” with the University of Cologne New York Office and the DWIH NY was excellently prepared, extremely motivating and attended by numerous very interested listeners. In the aftermath, several very interesting new international contacts have already developed. The refreshing format suggested by the organizers – to present 3 key images from our research findings – was a perfect conversation starter that allowed the audience to relate straight to the content and participate interactively. This innovative format will be useful for us in the future as well, as we will adopt it and use it in lectures. Once again, the successful event demonstrated how important meetings and exchanges through lectures and workshops with discussions are and remain – with digital channels and our New York Office making great contributions.

Many thanks to Dr. Eva Bosbach from the University of Cologne New York Office and their partners for organizing an excellent event that resulted in a valuable discussion between me and my colleague at Washington State University! This Transatlantic Tandem Talk of the NY Office is a testament for the importance of international cooperation in research in CEPLAS and the University of Cologne, as it was firstly in the “Transatlantic Workshop” on plant sciences organized by the UoC NY Office at the German House in New York in 2017. Subsequently, a delegation of graduate students from WSU attended the first International CEPLAS Summer School near Cologne. Now with the new digital opportunities, I am glad to have participated in this initiative of the Transatlantic Tandem Talks and in an upcoming exciting virtual seminar between the two universities we are planning as a result.

With United Nations Headquarters in place, Manhattan is a center for the practice of international law. And with Columbia and New York University New York is also a center of the study of this discipline. For an international law scholar of the University of Cologne, this university’s liaison office in the city, run by Dr Eva Bosbach, is thus a special gift. This year again, when I did a briefing in the United Nations at short notice, I very much appreciated the highly professional and dedicated assistance rendered by Dr Eva Bosbach.

Prof. Dr. Michael Bollig, Professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Cologne
I greatly enjoyed my participation in the Transatlantic Tandem Talk, together with my dear colleague Prof. Terry McCabe of Boulder, Colorado, exploring the links between climate change adaptation and conservation strategies. Together with Dr. Eva Bosbach we identified this topic as most pertinent and of public concern. At the same time both climate change and conservation are crucial to our joint work in ecological anthropology in the savannas of eastern and southern Africa. The Tandem Talk was impressively organized, and the moderation afterwards was excellent. What an ideal circumstance to address public interest in the subject. The debate after our talk was exceedingly lively and could have easily carried on for another hour. I am very glad that this opportunity exists to further US American-German cooperation on pertinent global challenges.
