Our Team
Our team members come from varying academic backgrounds, ranging from seasoned business professionals to academics from various disciplines. These diverse backgrounds, experiences and skills of our team members enrich our research and comprehensive understanding of the global economy and feed directly in our project – World Balance Sheet – resulting in a publication that meets the highest professional and academic standards.
Active fellows contribute to our project, typically by working independently on the analysis of specific asset classes, and submitting academic papers. These work items and their scope are being well defined by our program management and may be completed part-time, complementary to any full-time role the fellow may have, within weeks or, in other cases, few months.
Within WorldBalanceSheet.org, fellows enjoy various career opportunities, developing to Senior Fellows or to Distinguished Fellows, even with the opportunity to be elected into board roles.
We carefully ensure, that all contributors to our published work are represented personally, within our publications, on our website, and by various marketing instruments beyond, all free of charge.
At WorldBalanceSheet.org we encourage our team members to engage with our research and contribute to scientific discussions.
The fellowship in WorldBalanceSheet.org is free. We always welcome new contributors to WorldBalanceSheet.org.
