Both scholars spent the 2024/25 academic year in Tübingen as visiting researchers under the DAAD scholarship programme, contributing actively to our macroeconomics seminars and collaborating with faculty members.

Prof. Dr. Ralph Luetticke: “Anastasiia and Mykhailo have greatly enriched our research community. Their placements affirm the strength of our international doctoral exchange and the high calibre of scholarship fostered here in Tübingen.”

We thank the DAAD for its continued support and wish Anastasiia and Mykhailo every success in Ottawa. We look forward to future collaborations with the Bank of Canada.
