The American Council on Germany (ACG) is an independent, nonpartisan nonprofit organization that was founded in 1952 to strengthen German-American relations. Today, the ACG works across generations to provide a deeper, more nuanced understanding about Germany, Europe, and the importance of the transatlantic partnership. Through a range of programs and activities, the ACG addresses the most pressing economic, political, and social challenges of the day to ensure better mutual understanding.Among the Council's established projects are: a focus on the "successor generation" – including the ACG's annual American-German Young Leaders Conference for emerging leaders from Germany and the United States as well as other activities that convene young professionals from Germany, the United States, and other countries to discuss common contemporary challenges; policy discussions with experts on complex transatlantic and overarching global issues in New York City, Washington, DC, and at the ACG's Eric M. Warburg Chapters across the United States;fellowships for the next generation of German and American academics, journalists, and other professionals; policy conferences which engage and convene policy-makers, multipliers, and leaders from government, business, academia, the military, and the media on both sides of the Atlantic; outreach through traditional and new media to keep ACG members and friends informed about the myriad of issues affecting the German-American relationship and transatlantic affairs; and experiential opportunities through fact-finding missions that give practitioners from different fields the opportunity to engage their counterparts in a deep and meaningful exchange about common challenges.
