The 2012 Max Planck Research Award will be granted in the humanities and social sciences for work on the theme of "Regulating international financial markets". The closing date for nominations is 15 December 2011.
The crash in private and public financial markets in 2007 and its consequences is one of the most obvious major challenges facing academia and politics today. The wealth of empirical data and heterogeneous regulatory concepts give reason for a complete rethink of the global financial architecture. During such an important phase in international financial policy it is important to promote cooperation between academics in this field at home and abroad and develop sustainable total solutions.
Financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the Max Planck Research Award is granted annually to two researchers, one working in Germany and one working abroad. Each recipient normally receives an award amount totalling 750,000 EUR. The objective of supporting cooperation with two internationally recognised academics is to give new impetus to the respective research area and consolidate its long-term status in Germany.
The joint Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and Max Planck Society research award is granted on an annually-alternating basis, addressing areas within the natural and engineering sciences, the life sciences and the humanities which are deemed to be particularly promising fields of research. The rectors or presidents of universities and the heads of research institutions in Germany may submit their nominations to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation or the Max Planck Society. Nominations on behalf of qualified female academics are explicitly encouraged.
