Third-Party Projects
The ZEW – Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research in Mannheim is a non-profit and independent institute. It is a member of the Leibniz Association and one of Germany's leading economic research institutes. I have coordinated three scientific consultancy projects for the German Ministry of Education and Research and have been a member of a variety of project teams as part of my work at ZEW. Frequent collaboration partners in our projects have been the Fraunhofer ISI and the Stifterverband. Feel free to let me know if I can give you additional information on a particular project or my role in it.
