About the price
The award is given to scientists who have been living and working abroad for at least five years. Apart from that, nationality, country of origin and research area of the scientist are arbitrary.
The prize is awarded for their overall work to scientists who have had a lasting impact on the respective research area and from whom further top achievements can be expected in the future. The nomination is made by German scientists. The prize money is currently € 60,000 and the prize includes lifelong support in the Humboldt network. The award invites the scientists to spend a year researching in Germany in a field of their choice in cooperation with scientists from Germany. Joint publications resulting from this are also welcome. The prize is awarded to up to 100 scientists annually.
