Students For Liberty Austria
I joined Students For Liberty in 2023 and became National Coordinator in 2024.
Role & scope
I run the Austrian chapter of Students For Liberty, an international classical-liberal student network. My role covers Austria as a whole rather than one campus group. We work with think-tank partners and hold regular events in Vienna.
What I do
Build the network
I recruit students across Austria and keep them involved. That takes time, but the rest of our work depends on it.
Run events
For talks and discussions, I arrange the program and speakers, handle the venue and logistics, then follow up so we can build on each event.
Partnerships
Through our work with the Austrian Economic Center and the Austrian Institute, I bring in speakers students wouldn't otherwise get to meet.
Write
I write the policy pieces we send to students.
Why I'm involved
My research looks at institutions and what ideas about them mean in practice. Running the network gives me a way to argue for those ideas outside my research. It also means learning how to build an organization and keep it running, which isn't something I can learn from a problem set.
Events & outputs
We've had speakers from the Cato Institute, George Mason, and the Austrian Economic Center. Alongside those events, we hold smaller discussions regularly in Vienna, with students who stay involved in the network.
