Thirty-two alumni of the Federal Foreign Office, the BMW Stiftung Herbert Quandt, the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the Stiftung Mercator were invited to participate in the founding of the Global Diplomacy Lab (GDL). Together with the GDL’s Dean, Mr Ruprecht Polenz, the community gathered in Berlin from 13 to 16 November 2014 to sketch multiple facades of trust portrayed in global affairs. To open original pathways for a more inclusive diplomacy, the Global Diplomacy Lab seeks to identify experimental approaches focusing on cross-sectoral knowledge exchange and on the drawing of a common language.
