WORKING GROUPS 2026

The working groups are at the heart of The Weimar Fellowship. They bring together Fellows from Germany, France and Poland to work on concrete European challenges from different national, professional and societal perspectives.

Each group focuses on a specific topic and develops ideas, approaches and project concepts that can contribute to stronger cooperation within the Weimar Triangle. This overview presents the working groups, their thematic focus and the questions they will explore throughout the Fellowship year.
