About the award
In 2018, to mark the centenary of Albert Ballin’s death on 9 November of that year, Hapag-Lloyd AG established the Albert Ballin Award for Global Action and two Albert Ballin Awards for Globalization Research. The two Albert Ballin Awards for Globalization Research, each with a €5,000 purse, will be awarded every four years to up-and-coming young academics and researchers whose dissertation research broadens and deepens our understanding of the opportunities and risks of globalization in an exemplary manner. These two research awards will promote innovative and critical projects that use the social sciences, the humanities and cultural studies to investigate the processes and problems of globalization, thereby laying the groundwork for responsible action in the future.
