Nina Kaiser

As project manager, Nina Kaiser is the "engine" of the ZiK, constantly crossing borders in her work due to her research focus in the field of interdisciplinary criminal sciences. The focus of her work is on building bridges between the disciplines relevant to the investigation, explanation, prosecution and prevention of criminal acts, for which she not only crosses disciplinary boundaries, but also national borders. It therefore ensures the necessary "thinking outside the box" and brings interdisciplinarity and internationality to the ZiK. The networking of science and practice is particularly important to her. The "Graz" criminal sciences, coined by Hans Gross at the beginning of the 20th century, are always kept in mind as a foundation.
