Established in 2008, the Czech-German Young Professionals Program (CGYPP) is a growing network of talented people from Czechia and Germany (more than 200 in 2026). CGYPP offers each year three intense and high-quality seminars consisting of workshops, on-site visits, peer-learning, and intercultural team-building activities, together with interaction with a broad range of distinguished German and Czech experts.
Czechs and Germans with open mind-set in the age of 25-40 with varying professional backgrounds (from the fields of academia, business, media, politics, public administration and NGOs). Selected 14 young professionals for one program year become Alumni after full attendance of the three program units
Who can apply? Young professionals with at least 3 years’ work experience from the Czech Republic and Germany with strong interest in cross-sector and cross-border cooperation, who speak fluent English.
With seminars in Olomouc, Ostrava, and Šterberk, we concluded this year’s Czech German Young Professionals Program (CGYPP), which centered on the theme “Building Preparedness: A Czech-German Dialogue on European Security.” During three seminars, each lasting several days, participants addressed key issues in European security and, through collaboration and their own research, also created a series of podcasts that you can listen to as well.
