Our Award for Young Researchers
The aim of the Kiel Institute's Excellence Award in Global Economic Affairs is to build an international community of the brightest young researchers in this area. These researchers are to be given intellectual, financial, and administrative support to pursue focused programs of research in designated areas. Economists until the age of 35 are invited to apply for this award. The Excellence Awards have been presented annually since 2007.
