On September 14, 2017, the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies commemorated the 50th anniversary of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Fellowship. Over the past five decades, the Fellowship has nurtured the development of leading social scientists from Germany and stimulated an enduring exchange of ideas and friendships across the Atlantic and disciplines. Over a third of the Fellowship's alumni gathered at CES to celebrate.
The Kennedy Fellowship was established at a timely moment for German academia and German-American relations, and undoubtedly contributed to furthering the cause of transatlanticism.
