About

I am a political scientist and sociologist by training with a second interdisciplinary Master’s degree in Environmental Governance. In my current work as a Postdoc researcher at the Chair Group of Forest and Environmental Policy at the University of Freiburg (TABEK project), I investigate “transformation pathways and climate protection” investigating ways of involving private actors in Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) as to achieve “high ambitions” in politically acceptable ways. The project builds on my past research experience in various (inter)national, transdisciplinary projects on forest-climate and biodiversity governance (esp. on REDD+) concerned with questions of how governance arrangements can be improved such that actors from different sectors of society (e.g. policy, business, NGO or science) and respective interests are better integrated. For my paper on “Knowledge brokerage designs and practices in four European climate services” I have received the INOGOV Best Paper Award 2015 .

Outside the academic life, I work as a (freelance) knowledge coordinator for the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF/CIFOR) and offer trainings and workshops for different study programs and professionals in development cooperation (e.g. GIZ) on Forest Climate Governance.
