As board member of sahee foundation – sustainability for agriculture, health, education and environment (since 2016) I provide review and enabling guidance for projects and processes for sustainable development funded in Eswatini, Southern Africa, and Peru, Latin America.

As executive director of the Swiss Academic Society of Environmental Research and Ecology saguf (2010–2016), as board member of saguf (since 2010) and member of numerous working groups (since 2006) I organise events and co-author contributions, in which the concept of sustainable development and opportunities of societal learning and progress are core. Since 2012, behind the scene, I am taking care of the finances and accounting of saguf and am providing support in acquiring third-party funds.

Together with Dr. Anaïs Sägesser I acted as coach in the first IDEA League Doctoral School on «Ageing and Sustainability» (2012-2013) with 25 doctoral students of Europe’s leading technical universities. This mandate included the design and implementation of a tailored coaching for the students during three modules in Aachen, Tokyo and Delft. It involved the facilitation of 1) group processes for interdisciplinary collaboration and ii) an ideas market (online and face-to-face) for the development of business and research ideas for responding to the challenges of ageing societies.

From 2010–2014, I provided support for enhancing competences in sustainable development in the Climate-KIC Summer School (2010-2013) and the Critical Thinking Initiative at ETH Zürich (2014). At the core were the use and reflection of diverse perspectives and the wealth of ideas by actors from science, industry, start-up and administration.
