From 1983 to 1987 she was an elected member of the board of directors of the Öko-Institut in Freiburg, Europe's leading non-profit research and consulting institute, and founded the “Ecological Economy” working group there.

She received her doctorate from the University of Kassel , becoming a Dr. rer. pol with the topic: "Ecological work - On the theory and practice of ecological work as a further development of market-based work".

Irene Schöne was a co-founder of the Institute for Ecological Economic Research (IOEW) in Berlin, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2015. She is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the IOEW.

Her latest book, "Fair Economics - Nature, Money and People beyond neoclassical thinking" will be published in September 2015 by Green Books, Cambridge / UK, and in October in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA.
