Sabine Huebner Wins 5-year Heisenberg Grant

PD Dr. Sabine Huebner, Privatdozentin at Freie Universitaet Berlin,  has been awarded a 5-year Heisenberg grant by the German Research  Foundation. The predominant aim of the generously endowed Heisenberg  grant is to support young scientists who are already eligible for professorships and in addition distinguish themselves through especially outstanding scientific achievements. Apart from other ongoing projects, Sabine is planning on writing a book on the family in later Roman and early Byzantine times. She will spend the first two years at the Collège de France in Paris and the following three years at the University of Cologne. Sabine was a member of the first cohort of visiting research scholars at ISAW in 2007-8.
