Meyer Struckmann Prize for research in the humanities and social sciences

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With the Meyer Struckmann Prize for research in the humanities and social sciences , the Philosophical Faculty of the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (initially in cooperation with the North Rhine-Westphalia Science Center, which was dissolved in 2008 ) has been honoring outstanding achievements in the humanities and social sciences every year since 2006 . For each year, a subject area or subject area is selected from which the jury selects a winner based on suggestions from universities, researchers and scientific institutions. The award is financed by the Meyer Struckmann Foundation and comes with prize money of € 20,000.

Originally, funding from the Meyer Struckmann Foundation was planned for ten years. In 2014 it was decided to extend it for a further ten years, i.e. until 2026.
