What’s the secret ingredient to a strong UK–Germany relationship? 🇬🇧🇩🇪

We may not have the definitive answer, but last night we came very close. 🧀

A group of young German professionals joined us at the Ambassador’s Residence for the British Embassy’s first ever cooking class.

Beyond mastering a British classic - the cheddar soufflé - the evening showed how cultural exchange can spark conversations, build understanding, and strengthen the connections that bring our two countries closer together.

Huge thanks to our participants, .cara, Christoph Ilg, Maria Pfannkuchen, Anastasiya Kuzina, Felix Neumann and Gianna Albrecht for a fantastic evening of cheddar chopping, soufflé tasting, and connections we hope will last long into the future ✨

The Brandenburg Gate has witnessed many historic moments. Yesterday, with thousands gathered, it became the backdrop to another as we marked four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The UK stood alongside friends and partners from across the diplomatic corps here in Berlin to honour Ukraine’s resilience and hear directly from the Ukrainians who have suffered from this barbaric attack. Their voices must always be at the heart of the drive for peace.

Bei der diesjährigen Queen’s Lecture nahm uns Professor Dr. Adam Amara mit auf eine faszinierende Reise durch die Tiefen des Universums. 🌎🚀

Im Mittelpunkt standen zwei visionäre Missionen: Euclid, das die Struktur des Kosmos kartiert, um Dunkle Materie und Dunkle Energie besser zu verstehen, und das Habitable Worlds Observatory, das künftig nach Spuren außerirdischen Lebens auf fernen Exoplaneten suchen soll.

Professor Amara zeigte eindrucksvoll, wie Weltraumforschung nicht nur unser Verständnis des Universums erweitert, sondern auch Innovationen in Optik, Detektortechnologie und Datenwissenschaft vorantreibt - mit konkreten Anwendungen hier auf der Erde.

Ein herzliches Dankeschön an die für die ganze Zusammenarbeit und an den für die Co-Partnerschaft.

Die Queen’s Lecture war erneut ein inspirierender Brückenschlag zwischen Wissenschaft, Gesellschaft und internationalem Austausch.
