Event

Council Webinars are organized by the Council of the German American Conference at Harvard e.V. to give members the chance to connect directly to leading thinkers from politics, business, and society from Europe and the U.S. during these challenging times. We are therefore very honored that Dr. Jörg Kukies will join us for a webinar on Thursday the 21st of May.

During the webinar, State Secretary Kukies will share his perspectives on crafting economic and fiscal policy under the current situation. He will also share his thoughts on the effects COVID-19 will have on the upcoming decade. After a short 20min talk, there will be lots of opportunities to discuss and ask questions during a dedicated Q&A session.
