Presenting the certificate was one of the last official acts of nadineknab@bluesky.social, who handed over the chairmanship after 5 years of leading the association.
In addition, lucas91@bluesky.social presented our joint project on the winner-loser gap around this year's German federal election.

mit unserem Polarisierungsmonitor befragen wir regelmäßig ca. 4000 Menschen in Deutschland. In einem neuen Artikel bei ZEIT ONLINE werden erste Erkenntnisse unserer research unit visualisiert
