Aspen Institute Germany

The Aspen Institute Germany is an international, nonpartisan, and charitable organization. Its mission is to foster values-based leadership, encouraging individuals to reflect on the ideals and ideas that define a good society, and to provide a neutral and balanced venue for discussion and acting on critical issues. The individual and social values of the humanistic tradition are promoted through long lasting networks as well as a continued open-minded and critical discourse among top executives from Europe, America, and the whole world. The Aspen Institute Germany achieves its aims through regular meetings of interdisciplinary groups of decision-makers from the fields of academia, the economy, politics, culture, and the media, whose representatives might otherwise meet only rarely or are even in open conflict with each other. At numerous symposia, conferences, and discussion rounds, the Aspen Institute Germany engages in difficult questions of contemporary politics in detailed, candid, and confiding round tables in order to find common solutions for the challenges of our time.
