Why should you work with us?
For the last 18 years, we have been creating tools supporting communication, collaboration, and learning for system change and sustainability. We develop experiential and interactive tools such as social simulations and serious games to help raise awareness of global challenges and co-create inclusive solutions. They are engaging, fun, and have been played by many organizations around the world such as the World Bank, the European Commission, OECD, and UNDP.
As a non-governmental organization, we pursue meaningful work for people and the planet.
Join our professional, interdisciplinary international team of 15 change makers. Get involved in international projects for the public good at the intersection of business, science, society, and the environment.
The Role
Do you enjoy a cup of coffee over an expert magazine as part of your morning routine? Do you have experience in international research projects? Do you know what Horizon Europe is about? Do you care about the future of our planet? If yes, then you are a perfect match for this post!

Your main tasks and responsibilities will include carrying out literature reviews and desk research for our social simulations, coordinating and writing research grant applications (e.g. Horizon Europe programme), and writing reports and scientific articles as needed.
You will be involved in international research projects with partners from top universities and research institutes and therefore excellent written and spoken English, as well as extensive up-to-date knowledge about different areas of sustainable development, are essential requirements for this position.
