Prof. Dr. Rolf-Dieter Postlep is the new President of the Academy for Spatial Research and Planning
Postlep has been active in numerous committees and projects of the Academy since the 1970s and has contributed to numerous publications and congresses. Now 69, he earned his doctorate in economics at the University of Marburg, where he initially worked as a research assistant. A visiting professorship took him to Kassel in 1992. In 1994, he became head of department at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) in Berlin and at the same time held a lectureship at the University of Potsdam. In 1996, he returned to Kassel as head of the Department of General Economic Policy. "I would like to thank the Academy for its confidence in me and I am very much looking forward to this new task. After leaving the office of university president in Kassel, I will thus devote myself again to issues that have always interested and accompanied me in my academic work," Postlep said after the election. The term of office begins on September 1 and lasts until the end of 2016.
