Young research special topics

The VHB awards annually the Young Talent Award to younger members of the association or up-and-coming scientists who do not have a PhD in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It is aimed at encouraging and motivating budding scientists to present their research activities somewhere renowned, publish beyond the German-speaking sphere and open themselves up to international discourse.

The VHB maintains a job portal with job offers for business economists in academia.

VHB’s express aim is to “promote research and teaching in business and management, including junior researchers”. Consequently, the junior research sector is not only represented by an executive division, but also by a junior researcher workgroup. Any questions or feedback concerning VHB’s junior research work? Any suggestions for our VHB-ProDok courses? Would you like to actively help shape our junior research work? Please contact the Junior Research Promotion workgroup at any time.
