KNAW nominates PhD Student Marius Zoican for Lindau Meetings
The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) nominated TI PhD student Marius Zoican to attend the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings 2014 in economics.
Each year the Lindau Foundation organises a six day meeting between thirty Nobel laureates and five hundred top young researchers (PhD and postdoc) from more than fifty countries. The KNAW pre-selects the Dutch top researchers. TI nominated Marius for the KNAW selection to attend the Lindau Meetings with Nobelprize winners in economics, August 19-23, 2014. The Lindau Review Panel will decide on the final selection of Marius and the other KNAW pre-selected candidates, in February 2014.
Marius’ PhD thesis focuses on the economic impact of recent and proposed changes on market infrastructure, in the aftermath of the recent financial crisis. Supervisor is TI fellow Albert Menkveld (VU University Amsterdam).
