Congratulations to Dr. Igor Grossmann for being awarded the prestigious Humboldt Prize. The Humboldt Prize, from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, is awarded for fundamental discoveries, new theories, or insights with lasting impact. It also provides funding to build sustained research partnerships with Germany.
“In the span of two decades, Professor Igor Grossmann has achieved what most scholars cannot accomplish in one domain, let alone three: he has transformed the ancient philosophical inquiry of wisdom into rigorous empirical science, revolutionized how we track and understand cultural evolution, and pioneered the scientific forecasting of societal change,” wrote Dr. Karl Christoph Klauer in the nomination.
