1. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
GERMIN empowers and unites Albanians globally by leveraging our collective resources to support the democratization and development of our homeland countries. We aim to harness innovation, technology, social networks, and Albanians’ rich cultural heritage to inspire and enact meaningful changes both in our homelands and worldwide. The word ‘Germin’ is of Latin origin, meaning ‘to grow, to prosper.’ Making use of the latter, our organization aims to establish a solid foundation on which Albanians will eventually build their right walls, for the betterment of our homelands. Our mission is to serve as a vibrant, dynamic bridge that connects Albanians worldwide to inspire leadership and innovation, enhance engagement and entrepreneurship, and facilitate and build strategic connections. Our vision is to foster a globally connected and empowered Albanian Diaspora, actively contributing to the social, economic, and democratic development of their home countries.
GERMIN implements several programs focused on diaspora engagement, knowledge transfer, entrepreneurship, democratic participation, and youth empowerment. One of the core projects currently implemented is Diaspora4Innovation, in collaboration with the EU4Innovation Program in Albania. This project mobilizes Albanian diaspora professionals and scholars to strengthen Albania’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, through co-teaching in higher education, mentorship of startups, and global promotion of the local innovation scene.
While this role will primarily support the implementation of the Diaspora4Innovation project, the selected candidate will also be involved in other ongoing and upcoming initiatives at GERMIN that align with our broader mission.
We are looking for a dedicated and dynamic professional who sees this as a long-term engagement and is passionate about contributing to diaspora-centered development work.
