Biography

Mag.a Barbara Ruhsmann has been working in the subject area participation at ÖGUT since 2021. Already during her studies of German Philology at the University of Vienna, she was responsible for the conception and implementation of numerous community-oriented everyday culture and literature projects such as "A place writes about his everyday life. Writing workshops in Weitra" (1998/99).

After some experience in the cultural business, among others as a research assistant at the School of Poetry in Vienna (1998 to 2003), Barbara Ruhsmann worked for many years as a project manager for the European Forum Alpbach, where she primarily set up the building culture discussions and later was also a member of the programme advisory board for three years.

Most recently, Barbara Ruhsmann co-founded the association "Forum Wohn-Bau-Politik", a research, event and networking platform that has entered new territory in legislative crowdsourcing in Austria with the participatoryly conceived "Housing Rights Convention 2019/20".
