I am a graduate in Food Science and Biotechnology from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna. After working for as a scientist and head of the institute for packaging and later for medical devices and the Lower Austrian Food Cluster for ecoplus, Lower Austrian Business Agency I joined the AIT, Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, in 2010 as scientist at the Center for Innovation Systems & Policy. Here I was involved in or managed a number of national and European funded studies and foresights. The studies focused on topics like value chain analysis, manufacturing technologies like additive manufacturing, laser technology orenergy and resource efficiency strategies. I was strongly engaged in Fit4Food2030, a H2020 project on “Fostering Integration and Transformation for FOOD 2030” with a focus on identification of trends, barriers and breakthroughs in the food system. Also, AIT has taken a lead role to set up policy labs to foster food system transformation in this project. Furthermore, I coordinated the EIT Food Roadmap on “Healthier Lives through Food” and am currently engaged in the EU projects Microbiomes4Soy, FoodSafer and PATH2DEA on Digitalisation to enable Agroecology for European Farming Systems.
