Robert Habeck Heads to California: New Role as Guest Lecturer at Berkeley University
University Announcement: Robert Habeck to Deliver Lectures at American Educational Institution - Robert Habeck to take on academic role at American university
Looks like Robert Habeck, the former Vice Chancellor and Economics Minister, is packing his bags for good old California! According to the latest report from Focus, our ol' buddy is set to become a guest lecturer at the prestigious University of Berkeley. Now, he's just kickin' it in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Bundestag, but supposedly, he's，uh，totally stoked about the opportunity.
Sounds like Habeck will be collaborating with German economist, Ulrike Malmendier, who's already elbowing her way through the hallowed halls of Berkeley. Together, they're planning a lecture series on, you guessed it, crises. No word yet on the exact details, but apparently, the university has already sent out an internal announcement about it.
When DPA got a hold of him, Habeck confirmed the talks with UC Berkeley, saying he's flattered by the interest. We expect more clarity on the situation in the upcoming months.
Foreign Affairs and the USA
Given the Chancellor candidate's party didn't perform so hot in the last election, Habeck's currently honing in on the relationship with the USA from his seat in the Foreign Affairs Committee for his faction. Whether hitting the lecture circuit at Berkeley means Habeck's got his eyes on greener pastures isn't clear just yet. A query to stern on this matter remains unanswered.
The last time the Mirror had a chat with Habeck, he mentioned he was only gonna stick around in the Bundestag until the parliamentary summer break in mid-July. There's a rumor floating around that, if he dips out, a 25-year-old from the Schleswig-Holstein state association, Mayra Vriesema, might take over his seat.
Bonus Fact: Habeck's recent counterpart in global politics, Annalena Baerbock, is ignoring the Big Apple for a new gig at the United Nations in New York.

- As Robert Habeck transitions from his role in the German government to become a guest lecturer at Berkeley University, a question arises regarding the potential implications of this move for policy-and-legislation, particularly within the context of the proposed directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation in politics and general news.
- With Robert Habeck's impending departure from the Bundestag and the possibility of a new representative taking his seat, the Green party may face further challenges in the realm of foreign affairs and the USA, particularly in maintaining relationships with countries like the United States, often a subject of focus for Habeck during his tenure in the Foreign Affairs Committee.
