In 2012, the Center for Advanced Studies in Management (CASiM) in Founding at HHL – Leipzig Graduate School of Management awards the Heribert Meffert Awards for Master Theses for the first time. These awards will honor three graduates from German or international universities that have written excellent master theses in the areas “Trust and the Theory of the Firm”, “Trust and Markets” or “Trust in Innovation”, respectively.
The Heribert Meffert Awards in these three categories are each endowed with a monetary award of 1000 Euros, and the awards will be handed out at the CASiM Conference “The Role of Trust in Business Economics” on June 28, 2012, in Leipzig. The three areas “Trust and the Theory of the Firm”, “Trust and Markets” and “Trust in Innovation” are the topics of this year’s CASiM Conference. The three winners of the awards will be invited to attend the conference, and travel and accommodation support of up to 650 Euros will be available for each winner of an award.
The awards are closely connected with the first academic Dean of HHL after its reestablishment in private sponsorship in 1992, Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Heribert Meffert, who is also a board member of CASiM. The Heribert Meffert Awards will be awarded on an annual basis for master theses that develop novel research ideas with a strong theoretical foundation on the topics of the annual CASiM Conference. The master theses can be written in German or English.
Applications for the awards can be submitted until May 01, 2012.
