Nominator's project description

Professor Arie Kruglanski is among the most prominent researchers worldwide in cognitive social psychology. His enormous acievement for the scientific community, however, did not prevent him from continuing to be creative in terms of integrative theory papers and major empirical contributions. The period in Heidelberg will be used to develop a comprehensive theoretical conception of social judgment phenomena, together with his colleagues at Heidelberg University. Professor Kruglanski is highly respected in contemporary psychology as a truly cosmopolitan role model and as a deeply educated scholar.
