“I firmly believe that scientific findings only have real impact when they are accessible. My research interests in health economics and family policy drive me to develop innovative approaches that empower society and enable informed decision-making. Through clear and engaging visualizations, I aim not only to provide information but also to foster dialogue that leads to sustainable change.”

Caroline Chuard has been a scientific project manager at the CSS Institute since 2023. Previously, she worked as a postdoc at the Swiss Institute for Empirical Economic Research at the University of St. Gallen and earned her PhD in Economics at the University of Zurich. Her research focuses on health and family economics, particularly in the areas of early childhood development and maternal well-being.
