Alissa Chmiel is the founder of Digital Peace, a peace advocate and researcher based in Berlin, Germany. She holds a Master’s in Media, Peace and Conflict from the UN-mandated University for Peace and degrees in Political Science and Inclusive Education.

She founded Digital Peace to address a growing contradiction: conflict has moved online, but peacebuilding has not. While information warfare, AI-driven persuasion and platform dynamics increasingly influence public life, society still relies on analogue, outdated tools to protect democratic culture. Her work blends academic research with public communication, aiming to create a more informed, humane and future-oriented digital discourse.
