Dr Lutz Krebs (L.F.)

I am a political scientist with a focus on international relations and conflict research. Between 2010 and 2018, I have served as academic programme director for M.Sc. Public Policy and Human Development offered jointly by Maastricht University and United Nations University. Since 2017, I have contributed to the development of our innovative interdisciplinary BSc Global Studies, shepherding it through the macro-efficiency test and initial accreditation stages. At present, I serve as the founding program director for Global Studies. I also lecture and provide mentoring and supervision at United Nations University and Maastricht University.
