Hans Kilian and Lotte Köhler Center (KKC)

The announcement and conferment of the Hans Kilian Award is coordinated by the Hans Kilian and Lotte Köhler Center (KKC). The center was established in August 2014 at the Department of Social Theory and Social Psychology at the University of Bochum, Germany. The Center organizes activities that began with the establishment of the Kilian Archive in 2010 and the first Hans Kilian Award for outstanding researchers in 2011. The center’s other scientific activities include, for example, publishing Hans Kilian’s collected works, organizing the Hans Kilian lecture series as well as symposia, and offering research funding opportunities to talented master’s students and short-term fellowships for nationally and internationally renowned scholars.
