12th State of Europe

"State of Europe" is an annual event on the future of Europe.

"State of Europe” is a statement by its highest representatives - the Presidents of the European Council, the European Commission, the European Parliament and the European Court of Justice - on the idea and the situation of Europe. It is held on the anniversary and at the location of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the symbol of the united Europe that has been possible since 1989. Previous speakers have recently included Ursula von der Leyen, Donald Tusk and David Sassoli. The process of European unification needs fixed points on which the ongoing work on a common Europe can be oriented. The European Union must face up to matters.

„Free the Children Now!“

On November 15 and 16, 2023, a group of relatives of hostages abducted in the Gaza Strip visited Germany.

In the course of Hamas' brutal terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, over 200 people were abducted to the Gaza Strip and have been held there for over five weeks. Among the hostages are at least 34 children. 20 of them are now orphans without knowing it, as the terrorists killed their parents. Impressive initiatives have been formed in Israel to free the hostages, which have also met with a great response internationally. On November 15 and 16, 2023, a group of relatives of hostages abducted in the Gaza Strip visited Germany: Gilad Korngold, Avihai Brodutch and Batsheva Yahalomi Cohen with their daughter Yael. All of them had family members - partners, children or grandchildren - abducted to the Gaza Strip. Talks were held with the Qatari Embassy, Bundestag President Bärbel Bas, Finance Minister Christian Lindner, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael Roth, and the Deputy Chairman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group for Foreign Affairs, Johann Wadephul, as well as other members of the Bundestag and the Federal Chancellery. The delegation also took part in the commemoration of the Reichspogromnacht in the Berlin House of Representatives. A press conference was held at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation on Wednesday afternoon.

Albanien – Ein Land im Aufbruch

17. bis 26. Oktober

Obwohl längst Ziel von Massentourismus, gilt Albanien im Westen noch als Geheimtipp für eine Reise in naturbelassene Landschaft und als ein Nachbar auf dem Sprung in die Europäische Union. 2014 wurde dem Land der EU-Kandidatenstatus zuerkannt und seit 2022 laufen Beitrittsverhandlungen.

Es wundert also nicht, dass die Reise unter den Mitgliedern des Freundeskreises nachgefragt und besonders schnell ausgebucht war und daher im kommenden Jahr wiederholt wird.

“While all of this is happening in the Middle East, our support for Ukraine will not waver”

Europa-Rede 2023

On November 9, the anniversary of the Reichspogromnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Europe Speech took place for the 14th time. Every year, the stage belongs to the presidents of the European institutions: Parliament, Council and Commission. This year, Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, gave the State of Europe speech and provided impetus for a future-proof Europe. Moreover, young Europeans presented their innovative ideas from the "KAS Makerthon Europe". During the event, the audience voted and the winner was allowed to take part in the panel discussion with President Metsola. Phillipp Lahm, Tournament Director of the 2024 European Football Championship, also provided valuable input.

Nachhaltige Entwicklung als Menschheitsaufgabe

November 2023 zu Ehren von Prof. Dr. Klaus Töpfers 85. Geburtstag.

Mehr Forschung über Islamismus und Antisemitismus

Internationale Fachtagung zum Thema „Islamism in Germany and Europe. Research Trends, Blank Spots and Political Relevance”

Die Bilder von feiernden Hamas-Unterstützern in den Straßen Berlins und anderswo in Europa und der westlichen Welt schockieren und beschämen. Wie ist die Zustimmung zu dem progrom-artigen Überfall der radikalislamischen Hamas auf israelische Zivilisten in Deutschland und anderswo zu erklären? Wieso wissen wir so wenig über die Unterstützerstrukturen internationaler islamistischer Terrororganisationen in Deutschland und Europa? Welche Möglichkeiten haben Wissenschaft, Gesellschaft und Politik in der Auseinandersetzung mit den unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen des Islamismus? Vier Tage nach dem barbarischen Überfall auf Israel trafen sich führende Expertinnen und Experten für Islamismus und religiös begründeten Extremismus aus Deutschland und Europa in der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung um über diese Fragen zu diskutieren.

Refugee debate needs European solution

Antonio Tajani emphasizes the importance of Germany

"We need a long-term strategy at the European level on how to reduce refugee numbers. Germany has an important role to play here," said Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani during his visit to the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Berlin on Thursday. Tajani reported on the recent increase in the number of refugees in Italy and the resulting challenges for his country. He emphasized the need for migration agreements between the European Union and the countries of origin.
