Knowing Each Other? Mutual Perceptions Across the Atlantic

The 2020 U.S. Presidential Election and the events leading up to November 3 continue to shape public discussion and debate on both sides of the Atlantic.This is why several Berlin-based transatlantic institutions and political foundations have joined forces in order to host the virtual event series Road to Election Night & Beyond #R2EN. Together, it is our goal to facilitate in-depth discussion amongst leading researchers, policymakers, think-tanks, and civil society in the run up to this year's U.S. election. For more information on the virtual series, you may head over to www.landing.berlin-election-night.de.

We are delighted to cordially invite you to a virtual discussion on Wednesday, September 23, 2020, from 5:00p.m. - 6:00 p.m. (CEST) with

Ambassador Dr. Emily Haber
Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to the United States

and

Ambassador John B. Emerson
Vice Chairman at Capital Group International, Chairman of the American Council on Germany, and former Ambassador of the United States to the Federal Republic of Germany

on "Knowing Each Other? Mutual Perceptions Across the Atlantic"

moderated by Dr. David Deißner
Executive Director of the Atlantik-Brücke e.V.

The two Ambassadors, both renowned experts in the realms of foreign policy and transatlantic relations, will share with us their assessment of how Americans currently perceive their German partners across the Atlantic –and vice versa. What larger trends can we deduce from the current state of transatlantic relations? Are we, in
fact, still "wunderbar together"? The moderated discussion will last about 35 minutes, followed by 25 minutes of Q&A.

This is the second session of the transatlantic virtual event series Road to Election Night & Beyond #R2EN, which is organized and hosted by several transatlantic institutions and political foundations. More information on the virtual series can be found at www.landing.berlin-election-night.de.
