Leading innovative thinking on issues of global importance is the centerpiece of American Friends of Bucerius’s activities, in addition to supporting the activities of the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius and Bucerius Law School. To that end, we bring academics, professionals, and policymakers together to discuss the latest trends and developments in the fields of global governance and international law. Our programs range from panel discussions and roundtables to continuing legal education and training projects for young professionals.
In addition to the individual events we offer throughout the year, Bucerius USA has an ongoing and detailed focus on specific topics:
International Law
Bringing together attorneys, policy makers and practitioners in the fields of international legal practice, intellectual property and patent law, continuing legal education, and more.
Good Governance
Redefining governance as an interdisciplinary approach that includes individuals, communities, organizations, and governments as they seek to share ideas and create innovative solutions to global problems. This program is developed in close cooperation with our Good Governance Advisory Council.
Energy & Innovation
Multifaceted look at the most recent developments in the energy sector, including finance, technology, and security. This program is developed in close cooperation with our Energy Advisory Council. Read more about our activities here: AFB Energy Programming 2011-2015.
