Since 2019 she is head of the department International Programmes in Sustainable Developments at the University of Applied Arts Vienna which aims to explore and define new forms of future-oriented university education, and which develops and implements inter- and transdisciplinary master’s programmes in close cooperation with European and non-European universities and institutions.

Why do you support the Climate Walk?

“Climate Walk – what a tremendous idea! I am more than happy to support this project since our department’s fundamental function is to equip young people with the inter- and crossdisciplinary competencies, skills, and abilities that serve them as an indispensable basis for their engagement with the Grand Global Challenges.”
