About the conference
The Anniversary Forum is the culmination of the Hertie School’s 20th anniversary celebration. The event concludes the Hertie School Futures Forum series, which has brought together scholars and policy leaders throughout the academic year to discuss sustainability, democracy, fundamental rights, digital governance, and European integration. Under the motto “Looking back to move forward”, panellists have identified major future challenges and drawn lessons from the past that can help us to prepare for the future.
​
The Anniversary Forum focusses on good governance at a time of major political upheaval. As the University of Governance in Berlin, dedicated to providing a European perspective on global debates, the Hertie School seeks to explore how Europe must address the twin challenge of polarisation of society and geopolitical fragmentation. Moreover, we ask what role higher education and research and academic freedom can play in the context of internal and external challenges.
