The Macro Inequality Lab proudly supports the Fontana Visitor Program, an initiative hosted by the Department of Economics at the University of Mannheim. The program brings internationally renowned scholars to Mannheim for research visits and intellectual exchange.

The Fontana Visitor Program strengthens our engagement with cutting-edge research across all areas of economics. By welcoming leading researchers from around the world, the program enriches the academic life of the Department and offers the Lab’s researchers fruitful opportunities for exchange. Visiting scholars share ongoing work, present new ideas, and contribute to vibrant discussions with faculty, researchers, and students. These interactions foster new collaborations and provide fresh perspectives.

Each year, the Department of Economics invites distinguished scholars with a demonstrated record of high-quality research to spend time in residence in Mannheim. Visits may range from short-term stays to extended residencies, creating opportunities for sustained collaboration and meaningful scholarly exchange. For details about the program, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The program started in 2025 and has quickly become an exciting platform for international engagement and research excellence. Below, you can find an overview of past, current, and upcoming visitors.
