Wikimania 2025

Friederike von Franqué

I work in the Policy Team of Wikimedia Germany since 2022. My focus is EU and international policy, for example I represent the german civil society at the newly founded Internet Governance Forum Germany (IGF-D). My other focus is Disinformation and the positive role Wikipedia is playing in the information environment. Before Wikipedia, I spent more than a decade with stabilising a professional and democracy oriented information space that is supporting human rights, peace and democratic systems.
