DAAD London office officially relocates to the premises of the Goethe-Institut London
To mark the occasion, both organisations, DAAD and Goethe Institut, hosted the panel discussion “Creating a Common Future: Strengthening German–British Ties through Academic Exchange, Culture, and Language”, bringing together distinguished voices from academia, culture and international relations. The discussion could not have been more timely, as we celebrate the welcome return of the United Kingdom into the ERASMUS+ programme, as well as the one year anniversary of the signing of the Kensington Treaty.
We were honoured to hear opening remarks from H.E. Susanne Baumann, German Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Kai Sicks, Secretary General of DAAD, and Johannes Ebert, Secretary General of the Goethe-Institut. We were also delighted to welcome and hear from Andrew Mitchell CMG, British Ambassador to Germany, alongside colleagues, partners and friends from across the British–German network.
Our sincere thanks also go to Professor Karen Leeder (University of Oxford) and Scott McDonald (British Council ) for sharing their insights, and to the prominent German author Annette Dittert for expertly moderating the discussion.
By bringing academic exchange, culture and language even closer together under one roof, we look forward to strengthening our collaboration and continuing to build lasting connections between the UK and Germany.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this exciting milestone.
