👩🎓 PhD from @univie.ac.at & Communication/Coordination @medem.bsky.social ✨️
Bei meinen zwei heutigen Vorträgen auf der #KWT26 @oegk.bsky.social ging es um Vertrauen. Einerseits darum, ob die wahrgenommene Legitimität des #VfGH durch Kommunikation gestärkt werden kann, und andererseits darum, was wissenschaftsbezogene politische Botschaften eigentlich vertrauenswürdig macht.
It was such a pleasure for me to organize this workshop 💙
