Berlin Foreign Policy Forum 2020
Turning Crisis into Opportunity? Europe in a (Post-) Pandemic World Order
24 November 2020, Berlin
The coronavirus crisis is not only affecting our daily lives, it is also contesting the pillars of German foreign policy: international cooperation, European integration and economic globalization. This potentially transformative crisis came at a time when Germany held the EU Council Presidency. Discussions about European solidarity, crisis management and reconstruction were on top of the presidency’s agenda. At the same time, other pressing issues needed to be addressed, such as relations with China and the United States. The Berlin Foreign Policy Forum was an excellent opportunity to debate these challenges among a group of global foreign policy experts and decision-makers.
Since the wellbeing of our participants remained our primary concern, the 2020 Berlin Forum took place for the first time as a hybrid event with comprehensive online participation through our specially developed, invitation-only virtual conference platform. With more than 950 online participants, the Berlin Forum reached a new scope, resulting in a remarkable enrichment of our discussions. As every year, all sessions of the Berlin Forum were also available to the public via livestream.

The Berlin Pulse

The Berlin Pulse contrasts perspectives on German foreign policy by high-ranking international authors with current German public opinion based on representative surveys. Both the domestic and international expectations focus on the most pressing international challenges Germany currently faces. They elaborate on what German international responsibility should entail.
The Berlin Pulse is published annually on the occasion of the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum.
