Dr. Annika Elena Poppe

I manage the research center and am specifically responsible for its management as well as the promotion of its ECR.

As Academic Coor­dinator, I head TraCe’s central office – since April 2026 together with Tina Cramer – and oversee collaborative research planning and strategic development. My core responsi­bilities include coor­dinating plans for sus­taining TraCe beyond 2028, communi­cating with all part­ners, and managing the program to promote Early Career Researchers (ECR). I am respon­sible for quality control and the consortium’s budget, as well as for team leader­ship and develop­ment within the office. Other key areas of my work in­clude editing the TraCe Working Paper Series, managing TraCe’s public presence, and streng­thening TraCe‘s strategic network, among others through our Associated Researchers Program.
