Current

Official start in July 2023: “Comparative urban ecology: developing methods to assess urban social–ecological networks across realms and regions”, DFG funded scientific network (more to come; this project derived from our seed funding project CURT below).

March 2023 – December 2025 : “Re-Scaling Global Health. Human Health and Multispecies Cohabitation on an Urban Planet“: Exploring urban human-animal-environment relationships and how they affect human health in urban spaces forms the basis of this project. The project thus investigates the multiple links between health, biodiversity, and environmental pollution. The project is funded by the Berlin University Alliance and partner institutions involved in the project are: Technische Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Charité, Freie Universität Berlin.

Since 2021 – today: Fact Check Biodiversity,  part of lead author team for “Urban Areas” chapters.
