Our guests
Naturally, the TRR 266 values exchange with the international scientific community and representatives from business and politics. We are very pleased to welcome many international guests throughout the years.
We are pleased to have welcomed many long-term and short-term guests over the last years. Our guests often visit us for just one or a few days – for example as presenters in our TRR 266 Seminar Series. In addition to these valued guests there are several researchers who visit us for a longer period of time as a long-term guest or through a Mercator Fellowship. If you are interested in a research stay with the TRR 266 or a Mercator Fellowship, you can find our opportunities here.

Darci Fischer about her experience in the TRR 266
Darci Fischer was a Guest Researcher in the TRR 266 from September to October 2023. Completing her PhD at Boston University she focuses on tax and financial reporting regulation. During her stay in Germany, she visited the University of Mannheim and went to the Mannheim Taxation Conference. Darci Fischer remembers: “Starting my visit with the Mannheim Taxation Conference was fantastic. I listened to presentations from tax researchers worldwide from both public economics and accounting and also met many local researchers from the University of Mannheim that I continued to interact with throughout my stay.”
Then, after a short visit to the WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management in Vallendar, she stayed at the taxation department of the University of Paderborn for a couple of weeks. In Paderborn, she had the opportunity to present her current research during a brown bag seminar. “I was impressed by the quality of papers and comments I received. It is a welcoming, lively community supplemented with active seminars and great external speakers. There was always someone interesting to talk to and eat lunch with. There is such a range of interests within the TRR 266 that I had opportunities to discuss many topics. Frequent areas included how corporate tax incentives affect business decisions, tax disclosure, and financial reporting quality”, she explains. Besides the intense academic exchange, she also bonded with colleagues through free time activities like a city tour of Paderborn and going to the local autumn fair “Herbst Libori”.
Overall, Darci Fischer enjoyed her stay at the TRR 266: “One valuable lesson I learned was that a cross-institutional community of researchers that are familiar with each other’s work and collaborate often can be greater than the sum of its parts. That is something I will keep in mind as I try to create my own network. The stay helped me with my research by providing a space to form relationships with others who share my interests and multiple opportunities to present my work. I also thought it was valuable to learn more about the German tax system and institutions and compare that to US institutions I’m more familiar with to generate ideas.”
