Political scientist, peace and conflict researcher and mediator
Adham Hamed
I work at the intersection of peace research, mediation and foreign policy — as Research Director at the Austrian Centre for Peace, as a lecturer at the University of Vienna and, before that, as a diplomat at the German Federal Foreign Office.
