Dear followers of our monthly newsletter,

We hope you’re enjoying a beautiful May and the bright sunshine that has finally arrived here in Vancouver!

This month, we are excited to welcome Dr. Nadine Herold to the German Consulate General as part of the Leibniz Association’s Scientific Exchange Program. She will be with us until the end of July, working to foster collaborations between Canadian universities and the Leibniz Institute, one of Germany’s leading research organizations with over 90 institutes across a wide range of disciplines. Nadine’s focus is on sustainable agriculture, healthy food systems, and bio-based innovations. She has kindly shared a short message introducing herself, which you can find further in this newsletter.

We are excited that Canada continues to strengthen its ties with Germany and the EU, and we look forward to seeing the long-term collaborations that may emerge from Nadine’s stay.

Wishing all our readers a wonderful May and plenty of sunshine!

Best regards,
The editor
