The Friedrich Naumann Foundation USA Canada participated at this years 18th Harvard German American Conference from October 9th -11th 2026. 

Our delegation consisted of Moritz Pohl, Niklas Hoener, Rosmarie Debski, Leon Koehler , Liza Sophie Lauer, David Paul Mark, Matvey Sivachinski, Tim Wrobbel and Julius Graack had 3 days of inspiring conversations, fresh perspectives, and meaningful connections at the German American Conference 2026 at Harvard University! 🎓The Friedrich Naumann Foundation was proud to support this year’s conference.

Under the theme “Rethinking Transatlanticism: New Visions for a Shifting Relationship,” political leaders, experts, and young change makers came together to discuss the future of German-American relations, democracy, security, innovation, and international cooperation.

We believe that strong transatlantic partnerships thrive through open dialogue, shared democratic values, and the exchange of new ideas. Supporting platforms that bring together the next generation of leaders is more important than ever.

A big thank you to the organizers, speakers, and participants for fostering dialogue and strengthening connections across the Atlantic! 🇺🇸🤝🇩🇪
