Es hat mich sehr gefreut an der Abendveranstaltung des Wiener Kongresses der Konrad Adenauer Stiftung in Wien zum Thema “Krieg und Krisen – schafft Europa das auch allein?” am 22. April 2024 mit Dr. Wolfgang Schüssel und Ministerin Karolina Edtstadler teilzunehmen.
Together with the Vienna-based Think-Tank Ponto I developed a series of workshops for young Europeans to brainstorm their ideas for the future of different policy areas. IN an interactive format, participants would fine-tune their expertise and develop innovative ideas, among others for the future of EU foreign policy-making. The results of the workshops will be presented to political stakeholders after the European Parliament elections in June 2024.
It was a great pleasure to engage with students from the Bachelor Political Science during their course “The EU and Global Governance: Euro-Mediterranean Relations” , led by Dr. Federica Zardo. My guest lecture focused on the central role of member states in EU foreign policy-making.
On 21 September 2023 I was delighted to join the European Parliament Research Service online in presenting the results of our study “EU foreign policy decision-making: From unanimity to qualified majority voting?” and to answer questions by Members of the European Parliament of the AFET committee.

On 5 December 2022 I participated in a conference organised jointly by the International Institute for Peace, the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Vienna and the Renner Institute about the War in Ukraine. I spoke at the panel “The long and difficult road to peace” with a particular focus on the role of the EU and the need to engage with the international community much more strongly in bringing about peace talks. I also participated in the public panel discussion in the evening.
Am 27. Oktober fand im Landhaus in St. Pölten das jährliche “Forum Digitalisierung”. Im Rahmen unserer Kooperation mit dem Land NÖ habe ich dort einige erste Eindrücke von unseren Workshops “Trendmanagement Digitalisierung” vorgestellt und über die Kernzutaten zu Digitaler Fitness referiert. “Wie werden wir digital fit?” war das Thema meines interaktiven Vortrags.
