Our Prize Sponsor: Who Are They?
The Summer School in Development Economics owes a profound debt of gratitude to Sisira—intellectually, relationally, and institutionally. He embodied all these dimensions with natural grace and generosity, sharing them freely with all of us.
As Director of CDES at Monash University, Sisira placed his trust in the educational vision of the Summer School and became one of its most valued institutional patrons.
To all of us, Sisira was a warm, wise, ever-smiling, and deeply generous friend. The young researchers who receive this prize will find enduring inspiration in the luminous example of his life.
We are all deeply grateful.
