At the inaugural event of our lecture series on corporate governance, inspired by the Hertie School’s new Dr. Michael Endres Prize, the school will honour the annual research award’s namesake. Michael Endres is the long-time Chairman and current honorary Chairman of the Hertie Foundation’s Board of Trustees. He was instrumental in the school’s founding in 2003 and has helped guide its successful development since.
The event will take place at the Hertie School on 26 October at 5:30 pm. Wolfgang Schön, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Hertie School and Director at the Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance, will introduce the new 50,000-euro prize, awarded annually to distinguished academics working in areas relevant to the Hertie School’s research and teaching, who have helped bridge research and policymaking. Deputy Chair of the Hertie Foundation's Board of Trustees, Dagmar Schipanski will offer a laudation for Michael Endres.
The prize was awarded for the first time in July 2017 to Theodor Baums, Professor for Civil, Trade and Business Law, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, an expert on corporate governance who played a significant role in developing the German Corporate Governance Codex. In conjunction with the prize, the Hertie School will hold a lecture series over the coming months, 'Advances in corporate governance: comparative perspectives'.
At the event, Theodor Baums will hold the inaugural lecture, 'Advances in corporate governance in listed corporations', focusing on revisions to the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance since their inception in 1999, implemented amid continuously changing national codes. What are the current debates, what do experts see as strengths and weaknesses of current governance codes for listed corporations, and what are options for improvement?
The lecture will be followed by a panel discussion with Gay Huey Evans (Deputy Chairman, Financial Reporting Council, UK) and Jaap van Manen (Chairman of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code Monitoring Committee), moderated by Katja Langenbucher (House of Finance, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main). A reception will follow.
