Outreach

Through a wide range of outreach activities, grounded in my strong commitment to knowledge transfer, I have developed a visible and sustained public profile.

Together with Adrian Vatter, I write a monthly column entitled “Politkolumne”, which connects current political developments with insights from political science research. The column appears in leading Swiss newspapers in both the German- and French-speaking parts of the country (e.g., Der Bund, Tages-Anzeiger, 24 heures, Tribune de Genève).

I regularly contribute expertise to the media and am frequently featured in interviews, including prime-time formats on the Swiss public broadcaster (e.g., SRF Tagesschau, 10vor10).

I also deliver talks to a variety of audiences, ranging from the general public to small, closed formats, including briefings for high-level politicians and Swiss Armed Forces ranks.

In addition, I hold several consultancy roles and serve on the advisory boards of staatslabor and CH++. I also collaborate on a project basis with the renowned polling firm LeeWas GmbH, which is widely recognized for its accurate pre-election polling ahead of nationwide ballots in Switzerland.
