Amanda Pridmore

Amanda Pridmore is a project manager at the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) in Berlin, where her work sits at the intersection of global order, transatlantic relations and political communication. She leads strategic communications for ENSURED, a Horizon Europe-funded consortium on European global governance, and is a 2026 Future of Transatlantic Relations (FOTAR) fellow at the Helmut Schmidt Foundation and the Europa-Kolleg Hamburg.

Within ENSURED, Amanda manages a communications team responsible for the project’s full spectrum of outputs across 14 partner organizations in Europe, the Americas and Asia: from editorial production, graphic design, media relations and audience-targeted campaigns to the project’s Expert Blog, policy brief series and outreach via social media and newsletter. Alongside this, she conducts research on the EU’s strategic narratives around multilateralism and designs narrative trainings for the European External Action Service (EEAS) and EU member state representatives. As a FOTAR fellow, Amanda examines how Europe can build credible partnerships in an increasingly post-Western world and what this realignment means for the future of the transatlantic relationship.

Amanda also brings broad experience in international dialogue and exchange programs. At GPPi, she has contributed to the Transatlantic Digital Debates fellowship program and Global Governance Futures, which brought together emerging leaders from different regions to think through shared policy challenges. For ENSURED, she built and manages an international expert network and has conceptualized policy events online and in Berlin, Brazil, Brussels, Geneva, Beijing, New Delhi, Paris, Prague, New York and Washington DC, among others.

Previously at GPPi, Amanda led many of the institute’s publication, outreach and web-related projects and was part of the editorial team for 49security. Her earlier career includes public engagement at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in Washington DC, study trip coordination with Global Bridges e.V., and a Fulbright fellowship in Germany in cooperation with the Institut für Zeitgeschichte and Stiftung Topographie des Terrors, where she investigated the politics of memory and commemorative culture. She has also worked as a journalist for multiple media outlets in Germany.

Amanda is finishing a master’s degree in international relations at Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin and Universität Potsdam. She holds degrees in political science and philosophy from Clemson University. Her studies were supported by the State of South Carolina, the Institute of International Education and the German-American Fulbright Commission.
