platform features a public section that comprises short articles and essays pertaining to European history and culture. In addition to this, the platform also offers seminars and workshops focusing on specific themes. In 2021, at the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the dissolution of the USSR, the platform implemented the digital programme "Phantom Pasts or Everyday Present?". Within the framework of the project participants aged 18–24 from 13 countries explored the material(ized) remains of the socialist past in the context of their own home towns and visualized their collected materials online with the help of an art curator, a memory researcher and a photographer who facilitated the process. The resulting multimedia zine reflects the participants' "personal journeys through the material enmeshment of the socialist past in a quest of highlighting its ambivalence and complexity". Political Breakfasts Political Breakfasts in Berlin are high-level and confidential background discussions which seek to help cultivate foreign policy discourse in the German capital. The speakers include presidents, foreign ministers and other high-level political officials from abroad. They have the opportunity to discuss issues with a small group of senior foreign policy decision makers from the Bundestag, the Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Chancellery, the Ministry of Defence, other agencies and selected think tanks. Körber Network Foreign Policy Since 2005, the Körber Network Foreign Policy has assembled a group of young foreign policy professionals from the German Bundestag, the Federal Chancellery, the Federal Foreign Office, the Ministry of Defence and selected foreign embassies in Berlin. The Network's members, who are invited on the basis of personal recommendations, explore challenges facing European foreign policy. Once a month, they speak in confidential discussions with foreign politicians and advisors over dinner at the Körber Foundation's Berlin Office. Once a year, the group takes a field trip to gain personal experience with focal points of international politics. Participants meet senior representatives of governments and international organizations, as well as people active on the ground – in peace-keeping missions, military structures, and major economic projects. Field trips were organised to Kosovo and Belgrade in 2005, to Georgia (including Abkhazia) in 2006 and to Iran in 2007. Criticism Connections between Körber Foundation and politics have been described as too close by some media. A history contest, organized by the foundation, has been under the patronage of the President of Germany. Government politicians have been members of advisory councils for foundation awards
