Public Affairs Section (PAS)

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.
