August Lösch Prize 2008
The City of Heidenheim an der Brenz and the August Lösch Society jointly grant the prestigious August Lösch Prize 2008.
The prize was created in 1971 and first awarded in 1972 by the City of
Heidenheim in honour of August Lösch (1906-1945), one of the founders
of modern Regional Science, and a former citizen of Heidenheim.
The prize is intended to reward outstanding academic research in the
field of Regional Science. The prize carries an award of Euro 4000.
Joint recipients will share this amount.
The Society invites the submission of research work written in either
German or English. The prize will be presented at a seminar to be held
at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy in July 2008. August Lösch
spent most of his academic career at the Kiel Institute, until his
early death in 1945.
The winner, or winners, will be selected by an international committee headed by Johannes Bröcker, University of Kiel, Germany.
