Overview:
Professor Detlof von Winterfeldt is a co-founder of the Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events (CREATE), has served two terms as its Director, and has performed outstanding research under its auspices. The main purposes of this Award are two-fold. First, it honors Professor von Winterfeldt for his leadership of CREATE and commitment to high research standards. The second major purpose is to reward and honor those who have also contributed high-quality and impactful research at CREATE, and to serve as an inspiration to the next set of CREATE researchers.
This Award will be given to a CREATE-affiliated scholar who has upheld the tradition of high-quality research established by Professor von Winterfeldt.
