Gerhard Hess Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gerhard-Hess-Preis (in some cases also the Gerhard-Hess-Förderpreis ) was an award given annually by the German Research Foundation (DFG) from 1988 to 2000 for young scientists as part of the Gerhard Hess program . The award is named after Gerhard Hess , President of the DFG from 1955 to 1964, and was endowed with up to DM 200,000 annually for two years with an option to extend for another three years. In 2001, the program was integrated into the Emmy Noether program as both were largely identical.

The prize was only awarded to people who had applied for the prize and were no more than 33 years old at the time. A doctorate with subsequent significant achievement, ideally with a habilitation , was a prerequisite.
