HIM Trimester Program "Advances in Mechanism Design"

May 18 - August 21, 2026 HIM Trimester Program
Europe/Berlin timezone

Contact

In recent years, research on mechanism design has been fueled by the proliferation of ideas from adjacent areas, novel mathematical tools, and emerging large-scale applications. This trimester program aims to advance mechanism design theory by utilizing and deepening these insights. In particular, it will investigate synergies between mechanism design and information design, extend the theory beyond expected utility theory, and study mechanisms in the absence of transfers. The program will offer a series of events focused on these topics and host researchers at all levels working on mechanism design and related topics.  >> Link to Trimester Program website <<

The University of Bonn and HCM are committed to diversity and equal opportunity. We aim to increase the proportion of women in areas where women are underrepresented and to facilitate their careers. We therefore strongly encourage women with relevant qualifications to apply.

To encourage the participation of young researchers facing increased financial burden, such as researchers from developing countries, a small number of funded places are available. Please indicate in your application for which type of financial support you would like to be considered.
