Anglo-German Foundation Lectures

This lecture series was endowed to commemorate the work of the Anglo-German Foundation for the Study of Modern Industrial Society (which existed 1973-2009). The subject of each lecture should be one of public policy interest related to the beneficial development of industrial society in Britain and Germany. The lecture was first delivered in 2011. The last Anglo-German Foundation Lecture held under the terms of the agreement with the British Academy was in 2016.
