Policy, Consulting, Media

I find communicating scientific knowledge to broader audiences not only an important goal, but also a task that l am enjoying a lot. 

I thus happily offer policy expertise (and advice) in my areas of expertise (especially education and social policies) and have worked with several international organizations (e.g. European Commission, World Health Organization, Bertelsmann Foundation, Education International), ministries in several countries across the globe, other domestic organizations, as well as several media outlets.

Please do not hesitate to reach out. Contact.

Some of my previous talks, roundtable discussions, podcasts, and other formats are available online, for example:

• A talk at UNC Chapel Hill on the role of public opinion for education reform
