Hilmar Brohmer

After my Bachelor and Master studies in Social and Behavioral Sciences, I started working as a research associate at the University of Graz in 2016. I first completed my doctorate at the Department of Psychology in the Social Psychology Section under the supervision of Prof. Katja Corcoran. During this time, I conducted research on the cognitive effects of goal contagion. It was also during this period that, together with Gabriela Hofer and Tony Ross-Hellauer, I founded the Graz Open Science Initiative (GOSI).

Since completing my doctorate in 2020, I have been working on a broad range of topics, including environmentally friendly behavior, science communication (at times in collaboration with Hildrun Walter at the Seventh Faculty), gender-inclusive language, vaccine willingness, replication studies, and Open Science.

In the field of Open Science—particularly transparent and reproducible research—I have developed expertise in the preregistration of studies and the use of repositories. I have shared this knowledge with colleagues and students in numerous workshops.
