Dear Friends and Colleagues, ¶ Welcome to the September edition of the FES newsletter! I would like to take this opportunity to personally introduce myself as the incoming Director of FES in New York. I have represented FES in Jerusalem, Amman, and was most recently the Head of the International Policy Analysis Department in Berlin. My family and I are absolutely delighted to start the next phase of our lives in New York City. ¶ It is my pleasure to showcase examples of our most recent work. I feel truly fortunate to be joining such a dedicated, passionate, and knowledgeable team. Against the backdrop of the pandemic, this has been a fantastic opportunity to explore virtual platforms and to break away from established routes and routines. ¶ I look forward to continuing the exceptional work of FES in New York and in engaging with the new challenges at a time where the world appears to indeed only be held together by a virtual thread. ¶ I look forward to hearing from you. ¶ Sincerely, Michael Bröning
