Professor Marcella Alsan has been awarded the Humboldt Research Award, an international prize in recognition of her academic record to date.
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation grants up to 100 Humboldt Research Awards each year to leading academics across disciplines “whose fundamental discoveries, new theories, or insights have had a significant impact on their own discipline and beyond and who are expected to continue producing cutting-edge academic achievements.” The Humboldt Research Award includes a €60,000 grant and an invitation to conduct a research project in collaboration with German scholars.
Professor Alsan is the first serving Kennedy School professor to be granted the Humboldt Research Award since 2002.
