STUDIA is a social science research organisation based in Schlierbach, Upper Austria. It deals with socio-economic and socio-ecological issues related to rural areas. STUDIA follows a transdisciplinary approach. In addition to regional economic assessments and value added analyses, the scientific application of participatory processes is one of the core competences of STUDIA. Land use, food and energy supply and living in rural areas play an important role here. We provide a sound basis for decision-making and argumentation by applying and linking a wide range of scientific methods. In all of this, we take a holistic and integrative approach to our work.

About me

I studied at the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences in Vienna as well as at the University College Cork in Ireland. In 2010, I received the diploma in the Master’s program in Agricultural and Food Economics and in 2015 the PhD in Social and Economic Sciences with distinction. From 2010 to 2018, I worked as a university assistant and as a research associate at the Department of Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna. In February 2019, I started as a project manager at STUDIA in Schlierbach. Since February 2022, I have been the scientific head of the research institute. In parallel, I am the farm manager of a family dairy farm in Molln since the beginning of 2018.
