"Societies in Transition:
Energy, Climate and Oceans – Impacts on the Global Economy"
Journalists and Experts Alumni Program

The members of the "Round Table USA“ are using the opportunity to foster an increased dialogue between their alumni from the U.S. and Germany by offering the Alumni Journalist Program "Societies in Transition: Energy, Climate and Oceans – Impacts on the Global Economy“ taking place from January 27 to February 3, 2010. Participants are going to travel to Berlin, Hamburg and Copenhagen with discussions and excursions focusing on energy, climate change and trade/markets as the partner organizations of the “Round Table USA” have identified those topics as crucial elements to the transatlantic debate of the coming years. Meetings with high-ranking government representatives, experts from NGOs and scholars are planned for the stay in Berlin. The activities of the journey continue in Hamburg with a mixture of symposia, project visits and different networking occasions. In Copenhagen, host of the World Climate Conference 2009, the participants are going to meet with politicians as well as scholars and will be able to experience topic-related projects first hand. The agenda of the journey is designed and realized through the Körber Foundation.
