Her projects include ex-post and formative evaluations for various programmes for the BMBF, currently in particular the “360° monitoring” of the DATIpilot experimental funding lines and the accompanying evaluation of the federal-state programme “FH-Personal”. In the past, she has also carried out various evaluations (some of them lasting several years) in the field of higher education, transfer and innovation, including “Innovative University”, “FH-Impuls”, the “Female Professor Programme” and “Software Sprint”. For the DAAD, she was involved in studies and projects in the field of digitisation and internationalisation of university cooperation.
