The German National Academic Foundation is Germany’s oldest and largest institution for the development of gifted students. For over 45 years, the Foundation has run academies in order to expand knowledge, promote interdisciplinary dialogue and introduce students to new perspectives. The joint work of lecturers and scholarship holders facilitates intellectual exchange, inspiring experiences and increasing knowledge.
At the first Technology Academy of the Foundation and the Max Weber Programme, taking place between the 6th and the 13th of September in the baroque monastery of Roggenburg, Professor Sauer will lead a working group on “Policy Impact Modelling – Empirical Analysis of Technology Policy”. The working group is mostly directed towards students of economics and social sciences, as well as agricultural and environmental sciences.
