RIAS Bloggers

The RTNDF and the RIAS Berlin Kommission actively support blogging by RIAS fellows throughout the program portion of their trip.  We encourage bloggers to reach out to their fellow program participants in advance of the start of the program, and to communicate with their audience during the core two week fellowship.

Over the past few years we have had a number of bloggers posting their thoughts and perspectives from the meetings, visits, and travels they experienced.  These blogs run the gamut, and we welcome your feedback and comments.

The blogs are listed by fellowship period.  There are two RIAS fellowships a year to Germany, each June and September.  The most recent fellowship was in June, 2009.  The upcoming fellowship in mid-September will features posts right here, so stay tuned.

And if your blog is not featured, let us know, and we’ll set up a link.
