Global Trends 2030 – The Future of Germany in the World and in Europe
Expertenbriefing
Since the first report was released in 1997, the audience for each Global Trends report has expanded, generating more interest and reaching a broader audience than the one that preceded it. A new Global Trends report is published every four years following the U.S. presidential election.
Dr. Mathew Burrows, the Washington-based principal author and manager of the report and Counselor to the NIC, and Mr. Jonathan Paris, a London-based consultant to the NIC and Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council of the US will present the new Global Trends 2030.
In the first session of the meeting, Dr. Mathew Burrows will introduce the Report followed by a discussion with the meeting participants. The second and final session will address the future of Germany in the world and in Europe. Mr. Jonathan Paris will kick off the discussion of the second panel focusing on the future of Germany and Europe.
