Kissinger Center for Global Affairs. This new professorship commemorates the long and deep friendship between Dr. Kissinger and Chancellor Schmidt, and is part of a multi-year program to enhance research on transatlantic relations at Johns Hopkins SAIS funded by the DAAD with generous support by the German Federal Foreign Office.
On this occasion, the Minister of State for international cultural policy at the German Federal Foreign Office, Michelle Müntefering, stated: “Germany and the United States of America are bound together by long-standing ties of friendship. At the same time, we need to continue learning more about each other in order to avoid misunderstandings, foster our friendship, and address common global challenges. Academic leadership plays a significant role in this endeavor.

The professorship adds an important German-U.S. transatlantic scientific perspective on how to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges,” Müntefering said. “We are looking forward to the research conducted by the professorship. In combination with the Thomas Mann House in Pacific Palisades, the German Academy in New York, and a large public diplomacy campaign starting in October 2018, the Helmut-Schmidt professorship is part of a larger effort by the German Federal Foreign Office, together with its partners, to stay actively engaged in a broad transatlantic dialogue.” ...
