A critical part of the German Marshall Fund’s capacity to help shape important policy debates between the United States and Europe is its Transatlantic Fellows (TAF) program.  Each year GMF invites a small number of senior policy-practitioners, journalists, businesspeople, and academics to develop a range of programs and initiatives and build important networks of policymakers and analysts in the Euro-Atlantic community. Working mostly in residence at GMF’s offices in Washington, DC, and Brussels, where they have a bird’s eye view of American and EU policymaking institutions and processes, Fellows work on questions of foreign policy, international security, trade and economic development, immigration, and other topics important to transatlantic cooperation. Recent TAF publications have appeared in The Washington Post, the Financial Times, NRC Handelsblad, the International Herald Tribune, Policy Review, Foreign Affairs, Die Zeit, The Wall Street Journal, and many other news and opinion outlets.

In addition to extensive publications, other TAF activities in the last year have included the conclusion of a speaker series entitled “Power, Institutions, and Legitimacy in Atlantic Relations,” featuring prominent academics opining on general questions of American and European hard and soft power; a European tour by Washington, DC– and Europe-based Fellows who led policy workshops in capitals across the continent; and the organization of numerous roundtable discussions, seminars, and debates on both sides of the Atlantic.
