As a manager in the field of science and innovation, I have almost two decades of experience in interdisciplinary research, with research organisations, and with science and innovation policy. I have worked in national (Austrian), European and international contexts. Thanks to my excellent communication and networking skills, I am a reliable broker of cooperation among stakeholders. I have an analytical mind and I strive for creative solutions. I do quantitative and qualitative analyses, and have acquired leadership skills through my experience in managing small to medium-size teams. My main areas of interest and expertise include: research and innovation, societal challenges and SDGs, open science, academic publications, peer review and evaluation practices, research funding and research governance.
