Annika Weiser is a sustainability scientist. She is a postdoctoral researcher at Leuphana College since July 2018, where she coordinates the "sustainability & responsibility" module and explores the potentials of this interdisciplinary study entry phase. Her main research interests evolve around (mutual) learning at the science-society interface: How can we facilitate learning through transdisciplinary processes such as in the research project "City of the Future Lüneburg 2030+"? Which (collaborative) structures support long-term involvement of a broad range of actors in real-world laboratory settings? And: How can we develop learning environments in higher education for sustainability within such transdisciplinary settings that are meaningful for both the students and research & practice?
