    (OFFICIAL) The Scholarship For The University Of Göttingen 2023 Stephan Klasen Fellowship For Developing Countries

    Brief Description About The Scholarship Donors 

    In honor of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Stephan Klasen’s farewell lecture in 2019, the Faculty of Business and Economics launched the “Stephan Klasen Fellowship” in collaboration with the University of Göttingen’s Presidential Board and professorships in development economics. With this honor, the Faculty recognizes the development economist’s outstanding dedication to the field of development economics in Göttingen as a whole as well as to new researchers.

    By developing many and cross-faculty collaborations and networks, Stephan Klasen has considerably increased the study of development economics in Göttingen and made it possible for interdisciplinary research to be conducted in this area. Today, Göttingen is the largest and most well-known destination in Germany for research on emerging nations. A pioneering junior professorship at the Faculty of Business and Economics has also been established by him. Two postdoctoral fellows will be welcomed to Göttingen each year beginning in 2021 for a one-year scientific exchange (no teaching required). The fellowship will be promoted each year.
