Participants included a dozen of the most renowned German and international historians and political scientists, as well as senior journalists, and the event was generously hosted by the Ambassador of the Netherlands.

The conference follows another major public event in Berlin as part of ECFR's 'Germany in Europe' programme, which featured Jürgen Habermas and took place at the beginning of April. Next month, ECFR in cooperation with the Stiftung Mercator will publish a collection of essays under the title “What Does Germany Think?” A pubic debate to mark the launch of this publication will take place on  June 28^th.
