Leonie Fian, MSc

Leonie Fian is a PhD student in the Environmental Psychology Research Group in Vienna. She is particularly interested in pro-environmental behaviours, science communication and effects of nature exposure. Leonie is part of the research platform PLENTY – Plastics in the Environment and Society, investigating plastic pollution in a holistic approach. In her PhD, Leonie is exploring how microplastics in food and drinking water are perceived by different stakeholder groups. The project aims to contribute knowledge on how to effectively communicate uncertainties within science. In previous collaborations with the BOKU Vienna (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences) and as part of the BlueHealth Austria project, she has investigated inequalities in access to and use of Blue and Green spaces in Austria.
