The International Association for German Studies (IVG) is an association of scholars in the field of German studies that has existed since 1951. The IVG aims to promote international exchange and cooperation in the study of Germanic languages and literature. Every five years, the International Congress of Germanists takes place, at which IVG members discuss current topics and challenges in German studies.
The 15th IVG Congress took place at the University of Graz from July 20 to 27, 2025. The overarching theme of the congress is: “Language and Literature in Times of Crisis – Challenges, Tasks, and Opportunities for International German Studies.” Prof. Dr. Rösener will also attend the event and give a lecture on knowledge management with linguistic intelligence on July 25, 2025.
