Emil Fischer Medal
The Emil Fischer Medal is awarded every two to three years by the Society of German Chemists (GDCh) in honor of Nobel Prize winner Hermann Emil Fischer for outstanding work in the field of organic chemistry .
history
The industrial chemist Carl Duisberg , a student of Adolf von Baeyer , donated the medal of the same name on October 9, 1912, which is also known as the Emil Fischer commemorative coin , on the occasion of Emil Fischer's 60th birthday . The medal was transferred to the Carl Duisberg Foundation together with the Adolf von Baeyer Memorial Coin and the corresponding endowment capital and was awarded by the Association of German Chemists until 1940 . The GDCh has awarded the award since 1950, initially financially by Bayer AG and later by a special fund of the GDCh. The prize is the highest distinction for organic chemists in Germany and is associated with the award of a gold medal and prize money of 7,500 euros.
