Congratulations!

Aleksander Bursche was honored with the prestigious Reimar Lüst Prize for international science and culture communication.

We are delighted that our highly esteemed colleague and friend, Prof. Dr. Alexander Bursche from the University of Warsaw, has received the award of €80,000 from the Fritz Thyssen Foundation and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The prize honors outstanding foreign scholars in the humanities and social sciences who have made a special contribution to the development of lasting and fruitful scientific relations between Germany and their countries of origin. Over the years, Alek Bursche has built up a unique numismatic school, which includes not only young Polish scientists, but also colleagues from Ukraine and Belarus.
