Faculty of Law, Business & Economics
Chair of Planetary & Public Health
Lydia Reismann is a research assistant at the Chair for Planetary and Public Health at the University of Bayreuth. In addition to her medical degree, she holds a B.A. in Philosophy and Political Science and has experience in planetary health research.
In her medical doctorate at the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine at the University of Regensburg in 2020/21, she developed a questionnaire to assess climate-specific health literacy for the first time. With the idea of advancing the scientific quality of the young research field of planetary health, Lydia Reismann is conducting research at the University of Bayreuth on the operationalization and measurement of competencies in the field of planetary health education and planetary health literacy. She has a vision that a scientific focus on the theory and methodology of planetary health research can develop without losing the solution- and application-oriented characteristics inherent to the discipline.
She believes that science communication and social transfer are key challenges for researchers and universities. In addition to attending conferences, she enjoys communicating scientific findings on planetary health to different audiences using interactive teaching and learning methods. Her activities as a speaker range from schools in the context of Bildung trifft Entwicklung up to science slams.
Among other things, she was awarded the Sustainability Prize of the University of Regensburg 2024 for her multifaceted engagement in university politics and society.
Lydia Reismann is working on the HebPlanet project which aims to develop a curriculum for planetary health in midwifery through co-creation, in collaboration with the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
