Tripartite Young Leaders Conference on the Future of Europe

"The Global Economic and Financial Crisis and the Future of the Euro"

Warsaw, November 13-15, 2011

Building on the success of three previous Young Leaders Study Groups on the Future of Europe, the American Council on Germany, the Warsaw Center for International Relations, and the Draeger Foundation in Luebeck, for the first time are launching a tripartite young leaders conference from Germany, the United States and Poland.

The first meeting took place in Warsaw from November 13-15, 2011 and was designed to foster leadership qualities in young professionals by stimulating dialogue across national boundaries and across professional sectors and to create a new network of future global leaders.

The conference focused on the financial and economic challenges facing the transatlantic community and aimed to raise awareness regarding the differing perceptions of Germany as one of the founding members of the EU, Poland as one of the new members, and the United States.

The study group consists of 41 young leaders from the United States, Germany, and Poland. Participants represent government, media, academia, business, international organiza­tions, and the NGO community.

The next two following conferences for this group will take place in Brussels and Washington, D.C.
