Carl Ramsauer Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Carl Ramsauer Prize , established by AEG Aktiengesellschaft in 1989 , was awarded annually until 1999 to six scientists from the Free University of Berlin , the Technical University of Berlin and the Humboldt University of Berlin, who were awarded for their outstanding dissertation on natural science- technical field. Since 2002 the award has been given to three scientists from Berlin universities and one scientist from Potsdam University .

history

AEG Aktiengesellschaft donated the Carl Ramsauer Prize on April 13, 1988 to mark the 60th anniversary of the AEG Research Institute, which was founded on April 1, 1928. The award was named after Carl Ramsauer (1879–1955), the first director of the AEG Research Institute.

The young talent award was awarded annually in equal parts (endowment 10,000 DM each) to four scientists each from the Free University of Berlin and the Technical University of Berlin for outstanding dissertations in the natural sciences and technology (physics, electrical engineering, chemistry, production engineering and computer science). The award ceremony took place in a joint event organized by AEG and the two universities. The award winners were selected by a prize committee, which consisted of two representatives each from AEG and two universities.

When the Wall came down, the Humboldt University of Berlin was included in the award ceremony. The endowment was increased to a total of 60,000 DM.

After the dissolution of the AEG in 1996, the awarding of the prize was continued by the company TEMIC (TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH). After the sale of TEMIC's semiconductor division by Daimler AG to Atmel and Vishay in 1998, the TEMIC group was dissolved and the prize was awarded for the last time in 1999 by the remaining TEMIC Automotive division. In the years 2000 and 2001, the award was suspended by the TEMIC Automotive management, until the Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin took over the award on the initiative of the Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin and the presidents of the Berlin universities. Since 2002, the now modified Carl Ramsauer Prize, endowed with a total of € 6,000, has been awarded to three scientists from the Berlin universities and one scientist from the University of Potsdam for the best doctoral thesis in physics. The Carl Ramsauer Prize has been funded by the Berlin company SPECS Surface Nano Analysis since 2015 .
