Research Areas

In her dissertation project Liza Soutschek investigates the tense simultaneity of cooperation and competition in the sciences in the two Germanies during the Cold War. She examines the East/West German dimension of the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA): IIASA was established in 1972 as the first research institute working across the blocs with members from East and West - among them, the US and USSR, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the German Democratic Republic. Her PhD project concentrates on the interactive dynamics of cooperation and competition between the East and West German political and scientific actors at IIASA.

Liza Soutschek received her M.A. in History with a focus on Modern History and the History of Science from the Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) Munich in 2017. Since 2018, she is a PhD student and a member of the DFG research group “Cooperation and Competition in the Sciences”. Her dissertation project is being supervised by Elke Seefried (RWTH Aachen University).
