Students For Liberty Austria
National Coordinator since 2024, with Students For Liberty since 2023. Here's what the role involves.
Role & scope
I run the Austrian chapter of the international classical-liberal student network, at the national level rather than a single campus group. It's a working network with think-tank partners and a regular events calendar in Vienna.
What I do
Build the network
Recruiting students across the country and keeping them engaged. It's slow work, and everything else depends on it.
Run events
Organizing talks and discussions end to end, from program and speakers through venue and logistics, plus the follow-up that turns one event into the next.
Partnerships
Working with the Austrian Economic Center and the Austrian Institute to bring in speakers that students would otherwise not get to meet.
Write
Writing the policy pieces that go out to students.
Why I'm involved
Running the network is the applied side of the same interest as the research. The economics I work on is about institutions and how ideas about them play out, and the network is where arguing for those ideas stops being theory. It also teaches things a problem set can't, mainly how to build an organization and keep it going.
Events & outputs
We've hosted speakers from the Cato Institute, George Mason, and the Austrian Economic Center, alongside a steady run of smaller discussions in Vienna. The result is a working network with real partners and a regular calendar of engaged students.
