Biography
Beatrix Haselsberger is Senior Researcher at the Department of Spatial Planning at the Vienna University of Technology, Austria. She is also Visiting Professor at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Ambientale e Architettura at the University of Cagliari, Italy. Her current research focuses on the nature of borders (physical and invisible) and their impacts on space and people, cross-border interaction and cooperation as well as planning cultures, its diversity and origin. With her research she seeks to bridge the gap between planning theory and practice. Beatrix is active in the Association of European Schools of Planning and the Regional Studies Association, where she has been a member of the executive committees, as well as on the editorial boards of a wide range of journals. Together with her partner, an ecologist, she will open a spatial research and planning consultancy in Austria, in the near future.
