Anna Beckers, MEPLI fellow and EUI researcher has been awarded second prize in the humanities category of the German Thesis Award. The German Thesis Award (Deutscher Studienpreis) is a prestigious prize in Germany awarded by the Körber Foundation (Körber-Stiftung). Annually there are nine prizes awarded in three categories: humanities, natural sciences and social sciences. In each category, one first prize and two second prizes are awarded. 418 PhD’s applied for the prize, thirty candidates were shortlisted to present and defend their research in front of a committee. As organizer of this prize, the Körber Foundation values the outstanding academic quality and significant societal impact of her thesis ‘Taking Corporate Codes Seriously: Towards Private Law Enforcement of Voluntary Corporate Social Responsibility Codes’. After a successful defense that resulted in a cum laude in October 2014, Hart Publishing Oxford published the manuscript.
