Johanna-Maria Hülzer works as a Project Manager in the Conflict Transformation Research department at Berghof Foundation. Here, she was part of the coordinating team of the “PAVE” project on Community Resilience to Violent Extremism in the Western Balkans and the MENA region, in the context of which she contributed to several publications such as the edited volume Vulnerability and Resilience to Violent Extremism (Routledge 2023).

Johanna also works on the project “Politics of DDR” partnering with the UN DPO DDR Section, which contributes to the operationalization of module 2.20 of the International DDR Standards (IDDRS) on the political elements of disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration.

Holding a strong interest in non-violent movements, Johanna is furthermore involved in a joint project with UN Women on ‘Strengthening women as insider mediators within nonviolent socio-political movements’.

Prior to joining Berghof, Johanna gained experience in the field of strengthening the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary in the MENA region, through an internship at the German mission to the UN in Geneva and while supporting a comparative research project on multilevel migration governance in Lebanon. She completed her studies at Humboldt Universität Berlin, Sciences Po Paris, and the Hertie School in Berlin.
