On February 5, 2026, Robert Habeck, Germany's former Vice Chancellor and Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, delivered the sixth annual Guido Goldman Lecture on Germany. Speaking at this invitation-only event, Habeck addressed the issue of "Democracy and Security in Unsettled Times" with CES Faculty Director Daniel Ziblatt.
The Guido Goldman Lecture on Germany was established to honor the contributions of the Center's co-founding director. Guido Goldman was instrumental in promoting the study of Germany and transatlantic relations at Harvard. Goldman was also an important contributor to German-American relations and a founding force in establishing the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) in 1972.
