Congratulations to the winners of the 2018 MPP and MIA master’s thesis poster exhibition!
On 6 June, all graduating Master of Public Policy and Master of International Affairs students presented their thesis projects in a poster exhibition. A poster jury, which included Hertie School Professor Michaela Kreyenfeld, Professor Emeritus Claus Offe and Juan Etchart (SEEK Development), awarded prizes for the three best posters, and the winners were presented by President Helmut K. Anheier and MIA and MPP Director Mark Hallerberg.
And the winners are …
- Constanza Landini: 2 billion people working in the informal sector
- Amy McHugh and Dana Schran: From crisis to opportunity: innovative credit solutions for the financial inclusion of Syrian refugees
- Anna Pellegatta: Civilian casualties: How advanced technology can reduce the human cost of war
Students worked on their theses for the past five months under the supervision of a Hertie School faculty member. The master's thesis is an independent research project in which students apply the theoretical and methodological knowledge acquired in their studies to a practical policy problem relevant to their study programme. One objective of the master's thesis is to make use of the insights the students have gained in their studies for a practical institutional purpose.
Many representatives of Hertie School’s practice partners, as well as faculty, friends and families were in attendance. Congratulations to all of our students for their hard work!
