The independent, private “Kohli Foundation” has awarded this year’s Infrastructure Prize to the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). Its selection committee emphasizes the SOEP’s role as a model and driving force in the field of data infrastructure—even beyond Germany. It also makes a significant contribution to advancing sociological research. The award is endowed with 10,000 euros and recognizes outstanding infrastructure.
SOEP Director Prof. Dr. Sabine Zinn expressed her gratitude to the foundation and its selection committee: “We are delighted to receive this special award, as it recognizes our tireless commitment to high-quality data and the SOEP’s international influence. On behalf of the entire SOEP team, I would therefore like to extend my sincere thanks to the foundation for the Infrastructure Prize.”
