Emmy Noether Grant and ESHMS Excellence Prize for Ariane Bertogg

Congratulations to Zukunftskolleg Fellow Ariane Bertogg who received an Emmy Noether Grant and also won the very first “Health and Medical Sociology Excellence Prize” in 2024.

For the next six years, the sociologist will receive 1.5 million euros in funding by the German Research Foundation for her Emmy Noether project "Social Inequalities in Ageing Societies (SocIAS): Work-Care-Reconciliation in Later Life and Their (Unequal) Health and Participation Consequences from a Comparative Welfare State Perspective".

She is also the first winner of the “Health and Medical Sociology Excellence Prize” for her paper “Gendered life courses and cognitive functioning in later life: the role of context-specific gender norms and lifetime employment”, published in the European Journal of Ageing in 2023, co-authored with Anja Leist.

In 2024, the European Society of Health and Medical Sociology (ESHMS) launched the inaugural edition of the “Health and Medical Sociology Excellence Prize”. This award aims to honour and recognize outstanding contributions in the field of health and medical sociology through the acknowledgment of the best paper published in a peer-reviewed journal over the past four years (https://eshms.eu/funding/excellence-prize).

Ariane Bertogg has been a Fellow at the Zukunftskolleg since April 2020.
