SCIENTIFIC CONSULTING

Learn from the past to shape the future

I believe in the benefit of connecting the outcome of scholarly research with different cultural, educational, or policy-making circles. Sometimes, a look at the past can help to better understand the present and have an influence on the creation of the future.

In this context, I carried out a research project for the Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen) in Stuttgart, Germany, to provide advice in the context of the initiative “Humboldt y las Américas,” initiated by the German Federal Foreign Office. This project examines the Prussian’s potential for German foreign cultural and educational policy, and discusses the opportunities and challenges it offers for this thematic season in America. The outcome of this project was published in German and Spanish.

In addition, in the context of the Humboldt 250 commemoration, consultation and guidance regarding the content and format of scientific, cultural or artistic activities has been carried out for the following institutions:

• Humboldt Forum, Berlin

• The German Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia

• Casa Cultural Colombo-Alemana, Cartagena de Indias

• Asociación Humboldt/Goethe-Zentrum, Quito

• Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos Alexander von Humboldt, Bogotá

• Universidad del Norte, Barranquilla

• Goethe-Institut, Bogotá

Scientific consulting can be offered in German, English, and Spanish.
