Gerard van den Berg appointed as member of the Academia Europaea

Professor Gerard van den Berg has been appointed as member of the Academia Europaea, the European Academy for Sciences, Humanities and Letters. Just as national academies do, the European Academy aims to promote research, to advise governments and international organizations in scientific matters, and to advance on interdisciplinary and international research. Membership is by invitation only and implies a great recognition of one’s academic work.

Gerard van den Berg is Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Groningen since 2019. After graduating as a university student in Groningen, he spent many years working elsewhere: at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where he became a professor at the age of 34, and subsequently in Germany, the UK, America, and Sweden. Van den Berg is known as a leading international econometrician and labor and health economist who combines analytical depth with societal relevance. 

Van den Berg has become a member of the section Economics, Business and Management Sciences of the Academia Europaea, as the only researcher from Groningen. The Academia is the European-level equivalent of the KNAW (Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) of which he is also a member.
