Bonny Brandenburger, M.A.

Bonny Brandenburger graduated from the University of Lille in a German-French double master's programme in the field of cultural studies and economics. She then worked for four years in various projects on the topics of international vocational training, transnational science communication and community participation of new immigrants funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

In her research, she investigates how digitalization processes in public institutions such as universities and local authorities can be designed in a participatory manner and what transformation skills are required for this. Among other things, she examines makerspaces as places for transdisciplinary knowledge transfer and new cooperation structures. Another of her research interests are bottom-up initiatives such as the public interest tech community to promote a circular society.

Bonny Brandenburger also gives workshop on participatory learning and working methods and, due to her interdisciplinary background, tries to build bridges between science, civil society, politics and education.
