Four science prizes will be presented at this year’s annual conference of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in Freiburg. The first, the Stifterverband Science Prize, is awarded for scientific excellence in collaborative applied research projects. The Joseph von Fraunhofer Prize will be awarded to three teams of researchers in recognition of outstanding scientific work leading to the solution of application-oriented problems.
This prize has been awarded by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft every year since 1978, in recognition of outstanding scientific work by members of its staff leading to the solution of application-oriented problems. Over 200 researchers have meanwhile seen their work honored in this way. This year, three prizes will be awarded – each valued at 50,000 €.
For more than ten years, Stifterverband has supported the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft through its Science Prize, endowed with prize money of 50,000 euros. This prize is awarded for scientific excellence in applied research projects conducted by Fraunhofer Institutes in collaboration with industry and/or other research organizations.
