The Berthold Leibinger Innovation Prize

The Berthold Leibinger Innovation Award is an internationally advertised award for applied laser technology . It is one of the most important innovation and research awards in optics.

Since 2000, the prize has been awarded every two years by the Berthold Leibinger Foundation for innovations in applied laser technology. The first prize is endowed with 50,000 euros, the second prize with 30,000 euros and the third prize with 20,000 euros (status: 2018 call for applications). The winners will be selected from eight finalists who will be invited to the jury meeting to present their work.

Announcement and award ceremony

The first call for tenders in 2000 restricted the topic to laser technology in production. In 2002 the fields of application medicine and biotechnology were added. Since 2006 the price has included the entire laser technology without restrictions. Individuals and groups can apply. In addition to your own application, you can also submit suggestions. Submitted work must be published or free for publication.

The first award ceremony on November 26, 2000 coincided with the celebrations for the 70th birthday of the founder, Berthold Leibinger . The speeches were given by the then Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg Erwin Teufel and the then President of the Max Planck Society Hubert Markl , who was also a member of the jury. Since then, the award has been held in a festive setting as an independent event. Further keynote speakers were: Manfred Erhardt (2002), Eike Lehmann (2004), Joachim Milberg (2006), Jürgen Mlynek (2008) and Peter Gruss (2010).

In 2006, the foundation added the Berthold Leibinger Future Prize , a laser research prize that is not open to the public, to the innovation prize .

jury

The international jury consists of up to ten scientists, doctors and business representatives. Among them Hubert Markl (2000–2002), Hans-Joachim Queisser (2000–2002), Charles Townes (2000–2004), Joachim Milberg (2000–2006), Hubertus Christ (2000–2012), Hans-Jürgen Warnecke (2000 –2014), Herbert Walther (2006), Hans-Jürgen Quadbeck-Seeger (2008–2012), Theodor Hänsch (since 2008), Ursula Keller (since 2008), Henning Kagermann (since 2014) and Wolfgang Marquardt (since 2014), H. Jeff Kimble (from 2016).
