Public Affairs
PAS Logo (State Dept.)
The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the American Embassy is responsible for delivering information to the Danish public about the United States, its government and its policies, and about America's institutions and its people and culture. As part of this role, the Section's officers serve as the Embassy's official press spokesmen.
In addition, the Section organizes conferences, seminars and talks by visiting American officials and academics, as well as electronic meetings of American and Danish counterparts. As part of the Embassy's overall outreach efforts, the Section manages speaking programs by other Embassy officers, and invites groups to the Embassy for presentations by American officers.
The Section also manages a variety of educational and cultural exchanges -- both short-term and long-term -- that allow Danish students, academics, and professionals to visit the United States, and for Americans to visit Denmark. As part of this work, the Section maintains an active International Visitor and Voluntary Visitor program, which arranges study trips and professional appointments for Danish visitors to the United States. The Section also works closely with the Danish Fulbright Commission, which enables Danish and American students and faculty to study in America and Denmark.
Small Grants Program
The Public Affairs Section welcomes proposals for funding for cultural programs or other public events that aim to promote the understanding and appreciation of American culture. Any such proposals received by the Public Affairs Section will be reviewed and/or selected, according to program needs and funding availability.
If you or your organization would like to apply for funding for a specific project, please send us a detailed description of your project along with a budget to:

From time to time, the Embassy will also post grant solicitiations, where we ask for project ideas within specific topics or issues that we want to support with funding. Make sure you visit our grant solicitations page regularly to stay updated on what opportunities we have to offer.
Information, Research & Communications
The Embassy website is managed by the Information, Research & Communications section (IRC) - a subsection under PAS. The IRC helps the Embassy's audience find information or answers about the U.S. Take a look at the U.S. Information pages of our website for more information.

The U.S. Embassy collaborates with UNI-C - an agency under the Danish Ministry of Education - creating the U.S. content for Emu.Dk. The site contains information about everything and anything U.S. and is available in English and Danish. The site structure mirrors that of the rest of Emu.Dk and information is made available in different versions for different age groups. Click the badge on the left to go to the site.
