My research and consultancy work is focused on sustainability in Sports and Tourism. Here I take a psychological perspective in sustainability Leadership, Impacts and strategy. As part of our CASM I am involved in planning projects and communicating with external partners.
My main projects are currently consulting the easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga on their sustainability strategy and auditing the club's sustainability performances. Further, I am executing sustainability and climate change activation workshops at Borussia Dortmund to complement their sustainability approach. At FC Köln, I am supporting the foundation in assessing the effectiveness of their social projects.
