Honoured to have won the Best Paper Award at the Annual Conference of the European Society for Population Economics! This is the first year of the ESPE PhD Prize, and I am truly honoured to be its first recipient for my paper “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization”.

Huge thanks to the jury, Arnaud Chevalier, Astrid Kunze, and Cheti Nicoletti, not only for selecting my paper, but also for their thoughtful and detailed feedback afterwards. I’m grateful to my advisors, @basvdklaauw.bsky.social and @hesseloosterbeek.bsky.social, for their support.

A special shout-out to Olivier Marie, Erik Plug, and Dinand Webbink for their encouragement, good vibes throughout the conference, and great dance moves. And a big thank you to the many colleagues at @tinbergeninstitute.bsky.social, University of Amsterdam, @vuamsterdam.bsky.social, and EUR
