Amadeus Seehaus

Responsibilities: HerKo, TriKo, Regional Groups, International Affairs, Fundraising

I am currently pursuing a BSc in Public Governance at the University of Twente and the University of Münster. I am particularly interested in security policy in Latin America, which led me to complete a semester abroad in Rio de Janeiro. I have also gained professional experience in Chile and Honduras. I joined the Studierendenforum in 2024 and subsequently led the project “Displaced Yesterday, Silenced Today.” I am especially motivated to strengthen intergenerational exchange between the Studierendenforum and the Tönissteiner Kreis.

Lea Tinz

Responsibilities: Annual Dialogues, Tönissteiner Prize, Sustainability, International Affairs

I am currently working during a gap year between my Bachelor’s and Master’s studies at the Munich Security Conference, where I am part of the team for bilateral and multilateral dialogues. Prior to this, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Politics and Government at Sciences Po, with a focus on North America. During my time at the United World College in Armenia, I applied to join the Studierendenforum and have been a member since my first semester in 2022. Since then, I have been actively involved in the Feminist Foreign Policy Lab, the Latin America Working Group, and the SKI.

Moritz Stammel

Responsibilities: Finance and Membership Management, External Communications and Social Media, Website and Mailing Lists, SF Calendar

I am currently working at a medical AI startup in London, where I develop AI models for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Previously, I studied Computer Science at Imperial College London, TU Dresden, and the University of Warwick, and I plan to pursue a PhD in this field in the future. I joined the Studierendenforum in 2025 and lead the project Rethinking Healthcare, a panel discussion series on current developments, opportunities, and challenges in medical AI. I am particularly committed to strengthening collaboration with our international partner organizations and to further developing the Studierendenforum’s infrastructure and workflows in a sustainable way.

Nils Arvid Neubert

Responsibilities: Application Process, Communication and Coordination with the Administrative Office, Representatives and the Tönissteiner Kreis, International Affairs

I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Political Science and Sociology at Martin Luther University Halle Wittenberg. Alongside my studies, I am politically engaged in the context of the upcoming state elections in Saxony Anhalt this September. My academic interests focus in particular on the nexus between security and development policy in the African context. In addition, educational equity and equal opportunities are causes I deeply care about, which is why I have been actively involved with SKI since 2024. After many meaningful encounters there, I am now very much looking forward to the upcoming responsibilities on the Executive Board of the Studierendenforum.

Lena Einhorn

Responsibilities: SKI,Diversity, Legal Affairs

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in European and International Law at Maastricht University and have gained international experience through stays in Taiwan, the United States, and France. My strong interest in interdisciplinary and international collaboration is what initially brought me to the Studierendenforum. Since 2024, I have been actively involved in SKI, which is particularly close to my heart as an alumna. I am now looking forward to my second year on the Executive Board.

Officers Supporting the Executive Board

e officers, who are also elected annually, are appointed to take on specific topics and responsibilities. They work in close coordination with the Executive Board.

The Diversity Officers focus on issues of equal participation and the well being of all members within the association. They support the Executive Board in the application process, in external and internal procedures, and in their own initiatives aimed at strengthening diversity within the organization. In addition, they are always available as direct points of contact for all members and welcome feedback at any time.
