Willem F. Duisenberg Fellowship
The Willem F. Duisenberg Fellowship Foundation was set up in 2007 in honour of Willem F. Duisenberg and builds on the Jelle Zijstra Fellowship programme. The Foundation is sponsored by De Nederlandsche Bank, the Dutch Ministry of Finance and several major Dutch financial institutions: the ING Group, Rabobank Nederland, ABN-AMRO and AEGON.
Willem F. Duisenberg Fellowship
The Willem F. Duisenberg Fellowship offers researchers in the field of applied monetary economics, macroeconomics, macroeconomic policy, public finance or public finance policy an opportunity to pursue their own research, to work in an interdisciplinary environment and to share their knowledge with society. Researchers carry out their research project as a member of the NIAS interdisciplinary academic community and have the opportunity to meet with Dutch academics, policy makers and representatives of financial institutions.
From 2007 until 2022 the Willem F. Duisenberg Fellowship was an invitational fellowship for researchers with an outstanding record. As part of NIAS’ and the Duisenberg Foundation’s efforts to strive for a more inclusive academia, this fellowship now also has an open call. As of 2023 economists with more than 3 years post-Ph.D. academic experience may apply through the open call of NIAS Individual Fellowships.
Willem F. Duisenberg Fellowship Prize
In 2014 en 2016, the Willem F. Duisenberg Fellowship prize was awarded to young scholars from the Netherlands or abroad who showed exceptional creativity, significant accomplishment in applied policy research and promise for important future advances. The prize consisted of €15,000, a commemorative medal and the opportunity to organise a one-day workshop at NIAS. Prizewinners were Ralph De Haas (2014) and Robert Inklaar (2016).
