The Add-on Fellowship supports outstanding early-career researchers in the fields of economics, engineering, and life sciences who are working on innovative, interdisciplinary projects with social relevance. The program provides funding of up to €15,000 over two years.

Since August 2022, Gerrit von Zedlitz has been working as a research and teaching assistant at the Chair of Business Administration and Accounting, led by Prof. Dr. Jannis Bischof.
