Hello everyone, I have started to use this real name account when I was the coordinator of the project TAO (Third Age Online) the goal of which is to highlight the ways in which the access of older adults to the opportunities offered by online communities can be facilitated. I initiated and coordinated the project TAO in my role as a researcher at the Bern University of Applied Sciences.

Apart from TAO, I'm also interested in GLAM outreach and am a member of Wikimedia CH's GLAM working group. I'm a founding member of "Digitale Allmend", an association for the promotion of the Digital Commons which also acts as the Swiss chapter of CreativeCommons, as well as a member of "opendata.ch", the Swiss chapter of the Open Knowledge Foundation.

I am not entirely new to the Wikipedia community: I have occasionally edited Wikipedia since 2005 and continue to contribute now and then using my original user account.

Disclaimer: So far, all my contributions to the Outreach Wiki have been made on a volunteer basis in my spare time. They don't necessarily reflect the official views of the project TAO, nor the views of my employer, unless otherwise stated.
