I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Göttingen interested in citizen participation and environmental matters. I am a ECI Ambassador (since 2022). During 2021-2023, I joined the Erasmus+ Project ECI from A to Z. Together with the universities of Coimbra, Göttingen, Iasi, and Vigo, we promote the use of the ECI among young people and university students. I coedited the book "European Citizen's Initiative: A Tool for Engagement and Active Citizenship" (GUP, 2023).
