About Ulrike Guérot
Ulrike Beate Guérot is a political scientist currently focusing on the future of European democracy. Since October 1, 2013, she has been a Senior Associate at the Open Society Initiative for Europe (OSIFE). At the newly established Simone Veil Center for European Governance at the Humboldt-Viadrina School of Governance, she is currently running the “European Democracy Lab”. The core idea is the development of a Res Publica Europaea. In April 2013, she published a manifesto for the “Foundation of a European Republic” with Robert Menasse.
Guérot studied political science and received her doctorate in 1995 from the University of Münster with a thesis on the history of the French Parti socialiste. She served as a junior professor at the American Johns Hopkins University in the European Studies department, then as a research associate at the organization Notre Europe in Paris, as well as a staff member of the Bundestag Committee on Foreign Affairs.
From 2000 to 2003, Guérot was the head of the Europe program group at the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) in Berlin. From 2004 to 2007, she was a research associate at the German Marshall Fund.
Previously, from 2007 to 2011, she led the Berlin office of the European Council on Foreign Relations and subsequently served as Representative for Germany and Senior Policy Fellow. There, she worked and researched in the fields of the European integration process, European institutions, as well as German-French and German-American relations. She publishes articles on European and transatlantic topics in various journals and newspapers and is regularly invited to comment on current issues in European media. For her commitment to European integration, she was appointed a Knight of the French Ordre national du Mérite in 2003.
In the fall of 2013, she accompanied Federal President Joachim Gauck on his state visit to France as part of his official delegation.
She is a voluntary board member of Europa-Professionell of the Berlin capital group of the non-partisan Europa-Union Germany, where she has served for many years as a board member.
