Dr Claudia Lampert is a senior researcher and co-head of the program “Knowledge for the Media Society” at the HBI. Her research focuses on the challenges of digital transformation for media socialisation and health communication as well as on how to make evidence-based knowledge on these topics meaningful for different decision-makers.

In various projects (e.g. EU Kids OnlineSecurity for Children in the Digital World – SIKIDConnected Kids – Socialisation in a Changing Media Environment), she investigates the role of digital media in children’s and young people’s lives and the challenges for everyday media education and family life.
