Keusch, a professor of Social Data Science and Methodology at the University of Mannheim, has been appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB). His term of office began on 1 July 2026 and will last five years.

The BiB falls under the jurisdiction of the Federal Ministry of the Interior and advises the Federal Government on demographic developments, particularly in the areas of family and fertility, migration and mobility, aging, mortality and population dynamics, as well as education and human capital. The board of trustees oversees scientific research at the BiB and advises the institute on research management issues.

As a member of the Board of Trustees, Keusch, together with nine other researchers, supports the BiB in ensuring the relevance and quality of its scientific work. Commenting on his election, he said: “The BiB conducts research on demographic change in Germany, and the results of this research have a direct political and societal impact. It is therefore a special honor for me to provide advisory support to the BiB as it expands its work in the field of computational social sciences.”
