Fondation Lombard Odier Prize for Academic Excellence in Philanthropy
Congratulations to Sina Sauer, doctoral researcher at the professorship for Behavioral Finance, and her coauthors Simone Bartalucci, Antonia Muhr, and Volker Then, for receiving the Fondation Lombard Odier Prize for Academic Excellence in Philanthropy 2024 in the category “AI for Philanthropy”. The prize was awarded for their paper “AI-Enhanced Impact Measurement in Philanthropy.” A crucial step towards effectively managing philanthropic projects is to measure their impact, meaning the positive and negative outcomes a project achieves. Their paper outlines generic steps for developing such an impact measurement model, and explains how artificial intelligence can facilitate this process. The paper is forthcoming in the Routledge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and Philanthropy.
