Mercator Globe Forum
Under the theme “Navigating VUCA!”, the Mercator Globe Forum in March 2025 offers a unique platform for our network of fellows and partners to explore shared challenges, exchange perspectives, and co-create innovative ideas for positive transformation in times of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity. We warmly invite you to join us in our foundation’s hometown of Essen, Germany, to reconnect with familiar faces, forge new connections, and collaborate on building new alliances. The event language is English.
Over the course of three days, from March 12–14, 2025, we will join forces to address the following questions:
- How can we bridge societal divides and mobilize support for sustainable solutions, international understanding, and democracy?
- How can we effectively address climate change and geopolitical tensions?
- What actions are needed to rebuild trust in political, economic, and societal institutions?
- What strategies can help us leverage the opportunities of digital transformation?
- How can we reshape the economic growth model to create a prosperous and inclusive future?
We would be delighted to welcome you to Essen!
A formal invitation, including registration details and a draft program, will be sent to you in due time via the Mercator Globe Platform, where we promote digital and cross-disciplinary exchange between former and current grantees, as well as alumni and employees of Stiftung Mercator.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Oleksandra Gnyp via E-Mail at alumni@stiftung-mercator.de. We are happy to assist you.
