Having previously worked for the Chair of International Relations and Sustainable Development at the University of Münster, Lea Becker moved to the RIFS in January 2024 as a student assistant, where she supports Doris Fuchs and the team of the EU project "1.5° Lifestyles".

She is a Master's student on the Franco-German partner programme "International and European Governance". As part of this programme, she completed her Bachelor's and Master's semesters alternating annually between the University of Münster and Sciences Po Lille. In the course of her studies, she increasingly focused on political theory, with an emphasis on sustainability, justice and deliberation.
