Max Planck Research Award 2012, Germany

Overview

Since 2004, the Max Planck Research Award is conferred annually to two internationally renowned scientists, one of whom works in Germany and one of whom works abroad. Calls for nominations for the award are invited on an annually rotating basis in specific sub-areas of the natural sciences and engineering, the life sciences and the human and social sciences. The objective of the Max Planck Society and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in presenting this joint research award is to give added momentum to specialist fields that are either not yet established in Germany or that deserve to be expanded.

The Max Planck Research Award 2012 will be conferred in the area of human and social sciences on the subject of “Regulations of International Financial Markets”

The collapse of both private and public financial markets dating from 2007 is one of the most visible challenges that science and politics are facing world-wide. The wealth of empirical data and heterogeneous regulatory concepts that are available provide an occasion for a fundamental consideration of the establishment of a global financial structure. In this important phase of international financial policy, it is essential to support scientific collaboration between national and international economies in this area and to develop sustainable overall solutions.

Nominations for qualified female scientific researchers are especially welcome. The deadline for nominations is 15 December 2011.

For additional information please refer to the detailed nomination documents.
