Fürth Ludwig Erhard Prize
The Ludwig-Erhard-Initiativkreis Fürth e. V. annually awards the Fürth Ludwig Erhard Prize in order to promote research activities in which the factors innovation, practical relevance, feasibility, economic benefit and the effects on people in our society are increasingly taken into account.
The price
The results of scientific research are worthy of recognition if they include content that shows how innovative the research is. On the other hand, the practical relevance and the feasibility of the work results should be taken into account. Particular attention in the work to be submitted will be given to the economic benefit and the possible impact on society. The "Fürther Ludwig-Erhard-Preis" is based on the idea of honoring practice-relevant work that shows a macroeconomic or social reference. It is particularly about the continuation of the basic ideas of the social market economy in the sense of Ludwig Erhard .
The Ludwig-Erhard-Initiativkreis Fürth e. V. commemorates the famous son of the city of Fürth and later Federal Minister of Economics and Federal Chancellor Ludwig Erhard. First chairman of the Ludwig-Erhard-Initiativkreis Fürth e. V. is the television journalist and filmmaker Evi Kurz. Thomas Dreykorn from the economic department of the city of Fürth acts as managing director. The Ludwig-Erhard Foundation in Bonn provides the jury for the Fürth Ludwig Erhard Prize.
The Fürth Ludwig Erhard Prize, an award for doctoral theses, is intended to honor academic work at a high level every year. Since 2007, the Fürth Ludwig Erhard Prize has also been the official science prize for economics in the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region.
The prize is endowed with € 5,000 (as of 2019). In addition, an audience award endowed with € 1,000 will be honored at the award event for the best presentation of the doctoral content in a short time.
