European Marshall Fellowship

GMF created the Marshall Memorial Fellowship in 1982 to introduce the next generation of Western Europe's leaders to the United States, its institutions, politics, and people, and to reinforce the transatlantic relationship. Originally comprised of young leaders in politics and the media from Germany, France, Denmark, and the Netherlands, the program has expanded over the years to include Fellows from Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain.

European Fellows travel in multinational groups of 18-21 to Washington, DC, for briefings on American politics and policy before dividing into smaller groups to continue their travels to four geographically and demographically different cities and towns across the U.S., completing their Fellowship in New York.

Since 2003, IPPS has coordinated the activities of European Fellows visiting Colorado to learn about U.S. agriculture and state government (spring) and social policy and the criminal justice system (fall).
