Starting 1 November 2022, she is also spokesperson of the Berlin University Alliance (the Alliance of Excellence of FU Berlin, HU Berlin, TU Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin) for a period of two years. In 2022, Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz has named her a member of the government’s Future Council.

Geraldine Rauch has written several textbooks and reference books. She is an elected member of the Medicine Review Board for the German Research Foundation and a full member of the Drug Commission of the German Medical Association.
