Joanna Hosa
I am a foreign policy analyst and project manager with a passion for exploring the forces and stories shaping global events. I bridge Canada and Europe through my work as a Policy Fellow with the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) and as a Partnerships Manager at ArcticNet, Canada’s largest Arctic research network. My interests lie at the intersection of Arctic affairs, Canada’s politics, transatlantic security, conflict resolution, and Ukraine.
Before moving to Montréal, I served as the deputy director of the Wider Europe Programme at ECFR’s London office, focusing on security dynamics and regional politics. Previously I worked on democratisation, conflict prevention, and human rights in Brussels and Paris. My roles spanned EU institutions, think tanks, and civil society organizations, including the European Commission, the European Union Institute for Security Studies, and the Open Society European Policy Institute.
A graduate of the University of Edinburgh and the College of Europe, I bring a multilingual perspective to my work. Besides my native Polish, I speak English, French, German, and Russian, and I am currently learning Ukrainian.
My most recent research examined the evolving governance landscape in the Arctic, with fieldwork taking me to Iqaluit, Nuuk, Copenhagen, Ottawa, and Reykjavik — insights that culminated in the ECFR report Feeling the Chill: Navigating Arctic Governance Amid Russia's War on Ukraine, available here.
