Today is my last day at Stir Man School. 🥲 I’m very sad to be leaving an amazing group of colleagues in the Economics Division and a beautiful campus at University of Stirling. Friends and colleagues, I fully enjoyed my time here and have learned a great deal!

To all the good friends and colleagues I found in those places, do stay in touch, let’s continue all the great work we have been doing together ValBGI AtlanticPlastics, and I hope to see you in 👇

Thrilled to announce that I have been appointed professor of environmental economics at HWR Berlin starting #today. Looking forward to exciting new tasks in #teaching and #research in vibrant #Berlin.
