'Education thrives on innovation and innovation stems from excellent research,' said REMI director Nico Rottke. 'We see this new prize as an initiative especially to get young professionals interested in and involved in research.'
The 2009 award will next be presented on 27 February next year at the EBS Real Estate Congress on the campus of the European Business School.
Papers for the 2009 award must be submitted no later than 16 January 2009 in one of the three areas of real estate financing, real estate risk management and environmental efficiency in the real estate sector. An independent jury chaired by Professor Rottke will select the best works from the submitted papers.
