The Spring 2025 Program

The spring 2025 program begins in early February and continues until the end of May with lectures, readings, workshops, concerts, and panel discussions by the Academy’s residential fellows and Distinguished Visitors. Topics range from the future of European security to new German literature in Berlin, from intellectual life in pre-modern India to the power of graphic-novel storytelling, among much more. Please be sure to register for events online, where most of our events will also be livestreamed. However you choose to attend Academy events this spring, we look forward to welcoming you!
