Stella Voutta, PhD

Stella heads our Education area and, in this role, shapes both the strategic direction and the operational implementation of the Foundation’s educational work. The Romance studies scholar has been working for the Robert Bosch Stiftung since 2009 and has been a member of its leadership circle since 2013.

Previously, she was involved in designing programs and funding lines in various capacities – from student exchange formats to cultural projects and media programs, and dialogue formats for political decision-makers. Her work took her to a wide variety of regions, including Turkey, the USA, and even North Korea.

Before joining us, Stella worked for various cultural institutions in Germany and abroad, where she gained her first international professional and project experience.
