Felix Rusche has been awarded the 2025 Schmölders Foundation Prize

Together with Yulia Evsyukova and Wladislaw Mill, he is recognized for the study “LinkedOut? A Field Experiment on Discrimination in Job Network Formation,” which demonstrates through a large-scale field experiment that LinkedIn profiles with darker skin tones systematically receive fewer connection requests.
The jury highlighted the innovative design and the strong societal relevance of their findings.
Congratulations!
