Clara Bückart-Neufeld serves as a Research Associate and Doctoral Candidate at the University of Hohenheim's Chair of Social Transformation and Agriculture, with concurrent research appointments at Nürtingen-Geislingen University of Applied Sciences (HfWU) in the Center for Sustainable Development and BioDivResioTV6 project.

• B.Sc. in Sociology (major) and German Studies (minor), University of Trier (2008-2013)

Her research critically examines sustainable transformation in public catering business models through co-creative workshops and future skills development. She integrates perspectives from cooperative economics, organizational sociology, and industrial relations to analyze trade union standards for "good work" within contexts of consumption, communication, and regional inequality.

Her doctoral work specifically investigates how stakeholder engagement and future-oriented competencies drive sustainability transitions in communal catering systems.

No scientific awards or fellowships are documented in available records.

Additional grant-related work includes systemic supervision certification (DGSF/HSI Heidelberg) since 2021.

She operates within interdisciplinary teams at the Chair of Social Transformation and Agriculture (University of Hohenheim) and HfWU's Center for Sustainable Development, focusing on community-based economic models and sustainability transitions through participatory research methodologies.
