Cross-border engagement – for the benefit of all

The DLR Project Management Agency has been a partner of the German government for a long time, providing consultancy services in the development and implementation of its strategies to take advantage of the opportunities presented by European and international networking. In this way, we make an important contribution to strengthening Germany as a hub of innovation and ensuring it is well positioned among global competition. In addition to our analyses and consulting services, we provide our clients from government and key stakeholders within the science, innovation, and education sectors with the tools they need to represent and enforce national interests. Moreover, we support and monitor the implementation of relevant decisions and measures, while assisting our clients in their work within European and international organisations and committees. We place a clear focus on regional and technical strategies to foster internationalisation in science, innovation and education.

Ideal positioning of Germany as a hub of science, education and business

By creating an EU Office and an International Office, at the DLR Project Management Agency we offer two key services. In addition to our expertise in policy issues and framework conditions and their applicable procedures and tools for international cooperation, we also mobilise the relevant stakeholders to participate in EU programmes, international and bilateral initiatives and programmes, and promising individual measures. The combination of the National Contact Points for European and international programmes, our experienced contact points for all regions of the world, and internationalisation processes grouped within prioritised areas places Germany as a hub of science, education and business, within Europe and internationally
