After completing intensive French humanities and literature higher school preparatory courses hypokhâgne-khâgne, then an undergraduate degree in International Relations, Hugo Martin graduated in International and European Governance from the Free University of Brussels in 2024. His research interests include the Francosphere, specifically Quebec, and Europe-China relations, although the bulk of his research at the Danube Institute has concerned Hungarian matters. He has been involved in diplomatic student circles in France, as a former member first of the United Nations Inter-University Committee of Paris (CINUP), then of the French Federation for Diplomacy and the United Nations (FDNU), mainly participating in and organising public speaking contests. He is also a recipient of the Young Francophone Ambassadors (JAF) programme, whose aim is to give a voice to French-speaking youths around the world. He is finally associated with the French chapter of Republicans Overseas, an RNC-affiliated organization for U. S. Republicans living abroad.
