Awards
- In 2001, Ritter received the most highly endowed German sponsorship award, the Leibniz Prize . From the appreciation:
“... His interdisciplinary work shows the proportion of prerational processes in natural intelligent behavior, the way in which these can be found in simply built nervous systems and how they can be modeled by neural networks. In this way, Ritter takes on an outstanding role in researching so-called intelligent services. "
