Lena Aebli's main interest lies in communication via videos and animated infographics. She was responsible for the creative implementation of the film production "Traces in the Arctic" (Spuren in der Arktis) of the research project "Environmental Guidelines for a German Arctic Policy" for the Federal Environment Agency (UBA). She drew and animated a 4-minute explanatory film, that was premiered at the Natural History Museum in Berlin for the conference of the Arctic science ministers in 2018. For the UBA "Information Platform on River Restoration", implemented by Ecologic Institute, she was responsible for the video editing of a documentation that informs potential stakeholders about implementation options and developed (interactive) infographics. In the European research project "Resource-efficient use of food in the entire supply chain (REFRESH)", Lena Aebli was responsible for the video editing, sound recording and animation of four project films. With animated images for the REFRESH website and various social media channels, she also supported the public relations work of the project. She designed the interactive infographics "Sustainable ideas for everyday life" for the project "Scientific coordination of the funding measure Sustainable Management (NaWiKo)", funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
