We look forward to welcoming you at Aspen Germany’s

Summer Reception

on Thursday, June 12, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. at the Mendelssohn-Remise in Berlin.
This year, we are bringing a well-established Aspen format to the live stage for the first time: our International Press Roundtable. These discussions, until now held exclusively online, bring together journalists from a variety of international newspapers and media outlets, to investigate how political developments in Germany and on the global stage are discussed throughout Europe and in the United States.

This time, the panel will focus on the foreign policy of the new German government taking shape under the title:

Zeitenwende Revisited: A New Age in German Foreign Policy?

The discussion will feature the following panelists:

Thomas Escritt (Berlin Correspondent, Thomson Reuters)

John Kampfner (Freelance Journalist)

Anna-Lena Laurén (Foreign Correspondent, Dagens Nyheter)

Tonia Mastrobuourni (Berlin Correspondent, La Repubblica)

Juliane Schäuble (U.S. Correspondent, Der Tagesspiegel)

Christopher Schuetze (Reporter, The New York Times)

Pascal Thibaut (Germany Correspondent, Radio France Internationale)

and will be moderated by

Dr. Stormy-Annika Mildner

(Executive Director, Aspen Institute Germany).

After the discussion, we invite you to join us for a reception with food and drinks in the beautiful location of the Mendelssohn-Remise.

Please keep in mind that we dedicate time and resources to prepare for your participation. If you have registered and find that you cannot attend, please make sure to let us know in advance.

We look forward to making new connections, to catching up with old friends, and to inspiring conversations.

By invitation only.
