Since September 1, 2022, the head of our research group, Jutta Günther, is the President of the University of Bremen. The Academic Senate elected her on March 2, 2022, and the Bremen Senate subsequently appointed her as the President.

The working group is very pleased that Jutta Günther is allowed to hold the highest office in our university for the next 5 years and that so much trust is placed in her. Our work in the projects and initiatives that we have built up with Jutta since her appointment to Bremen will continue seamlessly.

Michael Rochlitz has been leading the working group on an interim basis since September 1, 2022, and we look forward to working with him in a very positive way. Michael Rochlitz is Professor of Economics, esp. Institutional Change, in the Department of Economics.

We wish Jutta Günther all the best for her new position as the President of the University!
