Meyenburg Prize
The Meyenburg Prize is a science prize awarded by the Wilhelm and Maria Meyenburg Foundation for important work in the field of cancer research and the fight against cancer. The foundation was established in 1975 by the Meyenburg merchant family from Krempe / Schleswig-Holstein and the associated award has been awarded since 1981. The prize is endowed with 50,000 euros (as of 2016). It is awarded annually at a ceremony at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg.
