Love price
The Austrian Ignaz Lieben Prize was awarded for the first time in 1865 and was last for a long time in 1937 due to the persecution of the donor family. In 2004, the prize was reanimated by new sponsors and has been awarded annually to young scientists for outstanding work in the fields of molecular biology , chemistry and physics .
history
The prize was donated in 1863 by Elisabeth Lieben, the widow of the banker Ignatz Lieben, in fulfillment of a wish in his will. Every three years the best work by an Austrian scientist, alternately in the fields of physics and chemistry, should be awarded. At that time the prize was endowed with 900 guilders, which corresponded to about 40 percent of the annual salary of a university professor.
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Franz Joseph's emperor , the foundation was topped up from 1900 by Adolf, Leopold and Richard Lieben through the Brüder-Lieben'sche Jubilee Endowment .
From 1900 the award was given annually and extended to outstanding work in the field of physiology .
For the 60th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph, the Richard Lieben Prize for Mathematics was launched in 1909 by the Richard Lieben Anniversary Endowment . It was awarded every three years from 1912 to 1921, and again in 1928 - for significant research in pure and applied mathematics.
In 1937 the awarding of the prizes had to be stopped due to the persecution of the donor family by the National Socialists.
The generous financial support from Isabel Bader and from Alfred Bader , who was able to flee from Austria to Great Britain in 1938, made it possible to reactivate the award and put it out again in 2004. Now the prize is endowed with 36,000 US dollars and is given to young scientists from Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Hungary for outstanding work in the fields of molecular biology , chemistry and physics .
