“Do not praise my merits from the past, but use my experience for the future.” This phrase concludes the memoirs of the second German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, recorded by speechwriter Johnny Klein and edited by our Academic Board member Ulrich Schlie. Ludwig Erhard was granted this wish during a panel discussion on the consequences of Donald Trump’s second presidency for Europe and the world.

Accompanied by openings from our Director Mayssoun Zein Al Din and the Vice-Rector for International Affairs at the University of Bonn Birgit Münch, Ulrich Schlie discussed the topic with the Head of the State Chancellery of North Rhine-Westphalia Nathanael Liminski and the Chairman of the Ludwig Erhard Foundation Roland Koch in front of an audience of over 80 interested people. We would like to thank the BAPP, the University of Bonn and CASSIS for the excellent cooperation.
