Looking forward to the roundtable on Political Legitimacy in Policy-Oriented Research at #COPPR26 this afternoon. I’ll draw on insights from joint work with Lukas Fesenfeld & @kariningold.bsky.social on the democratic legitimacy of multi-stakeholder platforms in sustainability governance.
Last week, I had the pleasure of presenting our paper on the impact of experiences with plant-based meat substitutes at the Swiss Political Science Association conference @ipz.bsky.social.
Joint work with Lukas Fesenfeld, Ursa Bernardic, Fabian Bättig & Fabienne Michel.

Had a great time at #FoodDay2025 by the @ethzwfsc.bsky.social this week 🌱. I presented a poster on our study that analyzes how experiences with plant-based meat substitutes (PBMS) shape dietary change. Thanks a lot to the organizers ✨.
On 21 October, the University opened a new interdisciplinary centre to improve links between science, technology and policymaking.
