Otto Hahn Award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Otto Hahn Award is presented annually by the Max Planck Society to individual winners of the Otto Hahn Medal and thus to young scientists from all disciplines. Between one and four researchers are honored. The award is made for particularly outstanding scientific achievements that have been achieved with the dissertation .

The award enables a longer-term research stay abroad and then the takeover of a small research group (formerly: Otto Hahn Group) as a research group leader with its own research concept at one of the Max Planck Institutes. The award is intended to pave the way for a long-term academic career in Germany.
