Vita

Annika is a sustainability scientist by training. She is a postdoctoral researcher at Leuphana College since July 2018, where she coordinates the "sustainability & responsibility" module for first-year students. Her research there focuses on the interdisciplinary study entry phase of the Leuphana Semester as well as transdisciplinary processes of learning and working at the science-society interface - particularly in the research project "City of the Future Lüneburg 2030+". 

She has been part of the transdisciplinary sustainability research lab (IETSR) since 2013 and is affiliated with the Institute for Sustainable Development and Learning (ISDL) since 2019. Her PhD research dealt with the transformative potential of strategic approaches towards more sustainable metal use with a specific focus on temporal diversity. Within the Lüneburg 2030+ project, she designed and accompanied the transdisciplinary work process from developing visions to the creation of concrete ideas and solutions and their experimentation in real-world labs. In the current project phase III her work focuses on connecting the implementation of solutions in experiments with inter- and transdisciplinary teaching at Leuphana. 

She teaches transdisciplinary project courses in the Bachelor and Master programs and offers method support with formative scenario analyses and sustainability assessments. In the Leuphana Semester and complementary studies program she connects her research within the Lüneburg 2030+ project with practice-oriented teaching formats.
