It was great to attend the Day of Parliamentary Research at the 🇦🇹 Parliament and share ongoing work on science and expertise in parliamentary debate: 1. Who refers to science, when, and in what contexts? 2. How do politicians draw on expertise, evidence, and knowledge in debate? @parlament.gv.at

Academic poster titled “Who Refers to Science? Understanding the Salience of Scientific Evidence in Parliamentary Debates” by Daniel Wiesner from the University of Vienna, presented at ICA 2026 in Cape Town. The poster features sections on abstract, scientific evidence in politics, methods, results, discussion, acknowledgements, and references. It includes charts, regression plots, and explanatory graphics analyzing how political parties and policy areas influence references to scientific evidence in parliamentary speeches across several European countries.

I won something at #ICA 🍾 In case you want to know what for👇

A smiling person stands in front of an ICA conference backdrop, holding a “Top Student Paper Award” certificate. They are wearing glasses, a dark long-sleeve shirt, light-colored pants, and a conference lanyard. The certificate shows the name Daniel Wiesner and references a paper about scientific evidence in parliamentary debates.

Had an amazing time at #COMPTEXT2025. So many inspiring presentations, fruitful discussions, and amazing people. Very happy about that — and that everything worked out from the perspective of an organizer as well 😊 @comptext.bsky.social @compcommlab.bsky.social

An early Christmas gift to cherish: I’ve been honored with the Best Teaching Award in my department at the University of Vienna! Teaching has always been a deeply rewarding experience for me, but knowing that my students valued and enjoyed my classes makes it all even more meaningful.
