Programs

  • Research Fellowship and Community Building

    OTHER PROGRAMS In FY25, AGI continued hosting researchers and scholars with the DAAD/AGI Research Fellowship Program. We also continued our partnership with the NRW School of Governance at the University Duisburg/Essen by hosting two fellows in FY25. The second year of the exchange program, Building LGBTQ+ Communities in Germany and the United States, included study tours to New York City in September and Munich in March. The participants published articles and podcasts, and the output corresponded with World Pride in Washington. The Halle Foundation enabled AGI to host paid internships throughout the year. AGI experts continue to engage on The Zeitgeist podcast, in articles, and with the media in the U.S. and Germany.

  • Geoeconomics Program

    GEOECONOMICS PROGRAM In FY25, the Geoeconomics Program focused on economic security, the Draghi report, and the ways the German economic model is changing and how that will interact with the economic policies of the Trump administration and the transatlantic relationship. With the German Marshall Fund of the United States, we held an event on redefining economic security (which took place the day following President Trump s tariff announcement). We continued our cooperation with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation with the fifth annual Transatlantic Trade Week on the topic of economic security. The Geoconomics Program held a February symposium in Frankfurt, which featured two panels on the foreign policy and economic impact of the second Trump administration on transatlantic relations, along with the key international issues at stake in the German election. It also engaged stakeholders in Munich with an event in cooperation with Amerikahaus and the Technical University-Munich, focused on the economic relationship between the U.S. and Europe, particularly economic security and technology issues in the transatlantic relationship.

  • Foreign And Security Policy Program

    FOREIGN AND SECURITY POLICY PROGRAM - In FY25, the Foreign & Security Policy Program focused on German international security commitments and how it is putting its defense Zeitenwende into practice. The program published a report with the U.S. Army War College assessing the implementation of Germany s defense transformation, analyzing changes in Germany s defense strategy, military capabilities, energy transformation, and international relationships since the sea change that Chancellor Scholz announced following Russia s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The report and subsequent conference analyzed the strides Germany has made in its defense policy since the full-scale invasion as well as the gaps that the new grand coalition must address in order to ensure Germany can defend itself from twenty-first century threats. At the Munich Security Conference, AGI hosted its transatlantic breakfast with the American Council on Germany, exploring the ways in which the U.S. and Germany can seek collaboration and manage disagreements as new governments in both countries set their course for the coming years.
