Short Bio

Leonie Stamm has been a research fellow in DGAP’s Europe Center since 2021. She works on topics related to gender and feminist approaches to foreign and security policy. She also heads the study groups “Strategic Issues,” “European Policy,” and – in cooperation – “Global Challenges.” These groups bring members of the German Bundestag together with high-ranking representatives from ministries and experts in a confidential setting to facilitate debate on strategic issues related to German and European positions and to develop concrete options for action.

Previously, Stamm worked at the Körber Foundation in the department of international affairs where she was involved in the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum and the Körber Policy Game. She was also part of the Körber Strategic Stability Initiative where she worked on new ideas and approaches to the topics of strategic stability and the future of arms control.

During her master’s program at the European University Viadrina, Stamm focused on German and European foreign and security policy, and the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda, in particular its implementation in Lebanon. She completed her bachelor’s degree in comparative studies in culture and religions and Middle Eastern studies in Marburg. Previous activities led her to the Schwarzkopf Foundation Young Europe, the Expert Council on Integration and Migration, and the Cairo office of the German Academic Exchange Service.
