Carl Duisberg Memorial Prize
The Carl Duisberg Memorial Prize is an award given annually by the Society of German Chemists (GDCh) to young scientists who have qualified as a professor and who have distinguished themselves through original work.
After Carl Duisberg's death in 1935, the IG Farbenindustrie established the Carl Duisberg Memorial Foundation at the Association of German Chemists to promote the next generation of academics. From 1936 to 1943, the foundation initially awarded the Memorial Prize; after the Second World War , the foundation was not renewed. In 1969 Bayer AG took over the foundation of the prize, which is financed today from the proceeds of a special fund for awards at the GDCh.
From the annual nominees, a five-person jury proposes a winner to the GDCh board. The Carl Duisberg Memorial Prize is endowed with € 5,000 for the recipient and € 2,500 for his research group and is presented annually to scientists at the chemistry lecturers' conference.
It should not be confused with the Carl Duisberg badge .
