Aspen Pol­i­cy Pro­grams

Aspen Institute policy programs advance public and ­private sector knowledge on significant policy issues confronting contemporary society. They convene leaders and experts with the goal of reaching constructive solutions to critical problems. While each program is unique in substance and approach, they all share a common mission and method. Each serves as an impartial forum for proven leaders in a given field, bringing diverse perspectives ­together in pursuit of informed dialogue and effective action.

Aspen Germany’s policy programs are dedicated to seeking international understanding and identifying common ground by examining complex and controversial policy issues in depth. Aspen achieves this by convening ­decision makers, policy makers and experts in small, inter-disciplinary groups for off the record conferences, workshops and seminars lasting from one to three days.

Participation in Aspen policy programs is by invitation only
