The Hendrik Casimir-Karl Ziegler Research Award (Hendrik Casimir-Karl Ziegler Onderzoek Scholarship) was a Dutch - German science award .
The Hendrik Casimir-Karl Ziegler Research Prize was awarded jointly between 1998 and 2012 by the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences and Arts (awknrw) and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences (KNAW) . It was named after the Dutch physicist Hendrik Casimir (1909–2000) and the German chemist and Nobel Prize winner Karl Ziegler (1898–1973).
The prize was endowed with up to 50,000 euros. Annually, one prize winner from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences and one prize winner from the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences were honored.
