About the German Association for East European Studies e.V (DGO):
DGO
The German Association for East European Studies (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Osteuropakunde, DGO) is the largest network within the German speaking realm engaged in research on East European affairs. It provides information about current developments, serves as a conduit of knowledge, and promotes dialogue between East and West. DGO members are important multipliers from academia, politics, commerce and industry, cultural life, and the media.
The DGO is an independent, non-profit organisation based in Berlin. Over 20 branch offices serve as regional platforms. (https://www.dgo-online.org)
The German Association for East European Studies celebrated its centenary in 2013.
The DGO organises international conferences, symposia, panel discussions, concerts, readings and more. The events serve the cooperation and networking of academia and are a forum for exchange with politics and the general public.
In July 2002, on the initiative of the later branch manager Dr. Peter Neumann, the branch office of the DGO in Dresden was established.
