Dr Carmen Huber took her new function in September 2011. Dr. Huber has been with NSF for 16 years, previously serving as Program Director at the Division of Materials Research and was a NSF Embassy Fellow in Uzbekistan. She succeeds Dr. David Stonner, who is now deputy director of NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE).

The Europe Office is managed by the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE), which maintains a leadership role in promoting and coordinating international cooperation. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is a U.S. government agency responsible for promoting basic research and education in science and engineering. International activities are supported throughout the NSF portfolio. NSF typically makes awards to U.S. academic institutions, which retain all intellectual property rights. NSF conducts no research of its own.
