Wael Bousselmi, Professor of Finance at ESSCA, recently completed a research stay as a "visiting professor" at the University of Heidelberg within the Alfred Weber Institute of Economics (AWI), a research centre led by Professor Stefan Trauttman.
What exactly is a visiting professorship?
It is, above all, a unique opportunity to discover a new research environment and to actively contribute to the life of a research centre by participating in meetings, seminars, workshops organised on-site, and engaging in discussions with new fellow researchers.
The objectives of this experience?
- To bring a researcher's perspective to enrich the work of colleagues at the host institute
- To gather valuable feedback and comments on one's own research to improve its quality
- To strengthen one's professional network
- To initiate new collaborations with new research team
Mission accomplished for Wael BOUSSELMI
He experienced a unique integration into the AWI team, participated in a workshop on finance and development, met numerous researchers in his field, and ultimately launched a new research project with Christoph K. BECKER, a specialist in financial decision-making under risk and uncertainty, and Tamás OLAH, a PhD candidate in behavioural economics.
