The Körber Network Foreign Policy comprises a select group of young foreign-policy professionals. Its members meet on a regular basis to discuss issues of German and European foreign policy with international decision-makers. An annual field trip takes the Network to hot spots of current and international affairs.

Since 2005, the Körber Network Foreign Policy has gathered an exclusive group of young foreign-policy professionals from key institutions, including the German Bundestag, the Federal Chancellery, the Federal Foreign Office and other ministries, as well as think tanks and select embassies. The Network’s members are invited to join by way of personal recommendation, and come together on a regular basis for intimate, off-the-record discussions with senior-level policy-makers and specialists.

Every year, 2-3 members of the Körber Network Foreign Policy have the opportunity to join the Munich Security Conference as Munich Young Leaders. The Munich Young Leaders program is a joint project by Körber Foundation and the Munich Security Conference. During the conference the Munich Young Leaders discuss current foreign and security policy challenges with high-ranking politicians, officials and experts. The program provides a forum for future decision-makers to strengthen their networks and inspire new thinking.
