A detailed list of contributions by IMFS professors in the areas
of research, doctoral and post-doctoral training, researchbased
policy advice, and public relations is given below.
In research, the focus is on publications in leading scientific
journals and book contributions with renowned publishers.
The departments of economics and law differ in terms of their
emphasis on such publications. In addition, professors are in
high demand as speakers at national and international conferences
and events.
Doctoral and post-doctoral training mainly takes place as part
of graduate education and the structured doctoral programs
at Goethe University. Additionally, professors work closely
with research assistants and post-docs on scientific projects.
Independent scientific research by young researchers is also
encouraged. In the past, IMFS staff has always successfully
transitioned into assistant or junior professorships of prestigious
faculties, or research positions at central banks or international
organizations following the completion of the dissertation or
post-doc.
Research-based policy advice by IMFS professors takes places
in scientific advisory committees, through direct contact with
political decision-makers, as well as through expert opinions,
policy reports, policy papers, newspaper articles and commentary.
The media plays an important role in public relations
efforts of the IMFS.
