MANUEL VOGT
Associate professor, University College London
My frequent contributions in Swiss and Guatemalan newspapers on the topic of ethnic inequality and conflict earned me the NCCR Knowledge Transfer Award twice in 2011 and 2013. The NCCR Knowledge Transfer Award, conferred by the Swiss National Science Foundation, rewards researchers for special achievements in transferring academic knowledge into society and contributing to a public discourse on democracy.
