Patricia Jankowski supports the "Systemic Risks" research group as a student assistant since September 2024. After completing her degree in European Studies, she decided to turn her voluntary work into a profession. In her role as Head of Coaching, she designed, implemented and supported an EU-funded program in a Berlin NGO that prepared refugees for their entry into working life. Following further training as a project management specialist and SCRUM Master, she was involved as a co-coordinator and project manager in various research projects on the nexus of sustainability and digitalization at the Technical University of Berlin, Department of Social-Ecological Transformation. The diverse experiences and the desire to promote interdisciplinary work motivated her to embark on a further Master's degree in Integrated Natural Resource Management at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in 2023.
