Since 2017 I am the head of the executive committee of the alumni association FörderLinK e.V. Düsseldorf. The goal of our association is to build a network for students, alumni, members of the department of General Linguistics and Computational Linguistics at Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf as well as for everyone who is interested in linguistics and our research. To achieve this goal, we organise different events throughout the year, such as the „Job-Café Linguistics“, a series of talks related to the overall question „What to do with a Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree in Linguistics?“. For more information, please visit the FörderLinK e.V. Düsseldorf website.
