Anne Ulrich joined the institute's science management team as a scientific advisor for quality assurance and evaluation in May 2024. She has previously worked in research and policy advice in national and international contexts, including at the Forest Research Institute of Baden-Württemberg, where she evaluated forestry policy and management instruments. As consultant in the field of agriculture and rural development, she was responsible for the management and implementation of multi-stakeholder development projects in the Middle East and North Africa. Her focus was on integrated resource management, adaptation to climate change, rural development and food security. In addition, she has conducted short-term expert assignments in Palestine and Malawi, and has advised the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) on technical and financial aspects of its bilateral cooperation programme with China. As a researcher at Heidelberg University, Anne conceptualised and implemented studies in the fields of livelihood dynamics, rural development and adaptation to climate change with a regional focus on East Africa. She completed her PhD in Geography at Heidelberg University in 2015.
