During my time at the research institute, I worked at the project 'Post-Migrant Societies' in the department of 'Consent and Conflict', which - based on surveys in Germany - analyzes inter-group relations in the context of migration and integration. My tasks included: - assisting the scientific analysis and publication; - assisting the designing of the questionnaire; - preparation of the researched literature; - setting up a literature database.

As a co-author, I was involved in the creation of three studies/publications: - North Rhine-Westphalia Post-Migrant; - Baden-Wuerttemberg Post-Migrant; - East-Germany Post-Migrant. In each case, I was in charge of the chapters: Politics and Integration, Muslims, right-wing Populism and Extremism, Salafism. My tasks included: - drafting academic texts; - assisting the scientific analysis; - editing; - designing a literature database; - literature research

During my internship, I worked on the project 'Web Debate', which is the 'Federal Agency for Civic Education's debate portal. I got to know all aspects of the project management and the editorial office - including: preparation/conducting/post-processing of interviews, editorial planning, research, and writing texts. In the process, I also worked with different journalistic (interviews, articles, blogs etc.) as well as media (video, audio etc.) formats and was responsible for contacting experts.
