Franziska Mueller

We are very happy to welcome Professor Franziska Müller to our team as
the new Principal Investigator for module 3 of REMASS project.

She is a Professor of development studies at the University of Vienna,with a strong background in

  • energy transitions

  • green hydrogen roll-out and

  • the challenges of socio-ecological crises in the anthropocene.


This change comes after the tragic passing of Cornelia Staritz, whose expertise and heartfelt dedication shaped and supported REMASS in lasting ways.
After careful consideration, it became clear that Franziska is a great fit to continue this work - both in terms of expertise and spirit.

The Austrian Science Fund has now officially approved the change and
we are really looking forward to working together as the project moves ahead.

Welcome Franziska - we are excited to have you on board!
