From 2014-2018, I was an elected Council member of EAEPE, a European pluralist economics association. I was in charge of young scholar relations and organized the EAEPE "Young Scholars Pre-conference", for the first time in Genova/Italy (2015), and jointly with Claudius Gräbner, Madeleine Böhm and Till Kellerhoff in Manchester (2016).
Alongside an inspiring group of other people, I was involved in organizing the 2015 "Teaching Economics in the 21st Century" Conference in Berlin. I edited two volumes that reflected debates and inputs from this conference with Wolfram Elsner and Samuel Decker (Routledge 2018).
