Luisa Burgmer is a Scientific Associate at Chemnitz University of Technology working on the ImmEr research project focused on Integration through education for immigrant and refugee youth in childcare support. She is affiliated with the Faculty of Philosophy, Institute for Pedagogy, specifically within the General Educational Science department.

Her research expertise spans several critical areas in contemporary educational science:

• Migration research and integration policies
• Social inequality and educational (in)equality
