Prizes and Awards
Research Promotion by the Academies
In order to promote the emergence of new talent in science and the humanities, or to honour outstanding research achievements or lifetime achievements in science, the German academies award numerous prizes, medals and scholarships. Irrespective of the prize money that goes with them, these academic awards are very special marks of honour. Award presentations are formal ceremonies, which usually take place at the public anniversary celebrations of the academies. For most awards, candidates cannot apply but have to be proposed.
