Kristina Lunz is an alumna of both University College London (with distinction) and the University of Oxford, where she read the ‘MSc in Global Governance and Diplomacy’. She gained professional experience at the Blavatnik School of Government and as research advisor to Dr. Scilla Elworthy, who has been nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize.
