Anselm Küsters from Humboldt University of Berlin receives Otto Hahn Medal
Since 1978, the Max Planck Society has annually awarded up to 30 young scientists for outstanding academic achievements related to their dissertations with the Otto Hahn Medal. Anselm Küsters, currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Digital History at Humboldt University of Berlin, was honored with this prestigious award for his work on "The Influence of Ordoliberalism on European Competition Law." His dissertation, titled "The Making and Unmaking of Ordoliberal Language: A Digital Conceptual History of European Competition Law," was developed at the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory and was accepted by Goethe University Frankfurt in 2022.
Now, as part of his postdoctoral project, he is further developing the digital methods of Natural Language Processing introduced in his dissertation. This project explores the empirical relationship between technological change and public opinion at Humboldt University. The award ceremony took place on June 21 during the annual meeting of the Max Planck Society in Göttingen.
