Anton Schröpfer graduated with a degree in sociology with a minor in social psychology and education from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich with distinction in 2013. From January 2014, he was a research assistant at the Friedrich Schiedel Endowed Chair for the Sociology of Science and a doctoral student at the Munich Center for Technology in Society (MCTS) at the Technical University of Munich. His research interest lies in the production of socio-technical innovation cultures in the science system. In August 2020, he completed his doctorate on the "Increasing social expectations of research. A special look at technical universities" successfully. Since then, he is responsible for teaching sociology in study programs for the vocational education (BA & MA). Since 2022 he works on the production of socially integrative and transformative spaces at the interface of education, art and culture.
