Erwin Schrödinger Prize
The Science Award of the Donors' Association - Erwin Schrödinger Prize for outstanding interdisciplinary research is a first conferred on 25 November 1999 and since then annual science prize . It is reminiscent of the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger and is endowed with 50,000 euros, which researchers are free to use. Since 2004, the Helmholtz Association and the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft have provided the prize money on an annual basis.
criteria
The award-winning work is said to have originated at least partially in a Helmholtz center. It should not have been successfully completed more than five years ago. Prize winners in the sense of the promoted interdisciplinarity are teams of (at least two) individuals or groups of people.
The member institutions of the Helmholtz Association are entitled to make suggestions in the form of their board members. Several proposals per center are permitted. The last possible submission deadline is March 1st of the award year.
The award is presented at the annual meeting of the Hermann von Helmholtz Association, which usually takes place in autumn.
