Awards for young scientists from Heidelberg

Ruprecht Karls Prizes and Fritz Grunebaum Prize to be awarded on October 25

The Heidelberg University Foundation honors young academics with the Ruprecht Karls Prizes for their outstanding scientific publications. The awards go to five doctoral students from various disciplines. The Fritz Grunebaum Prize will also be awarded during the festive event in the auditorium of the Old University. The Foundation invites you to the award ceremony with University Rector Prof. Dr. Frauke Melchior on Friday, October 25, 2024.

The winners of the Ruprecht Karls Prizes are Dr. Lynton Ardizzone (Physics), Dr. Ioannis Sarropoulos (Biosciences), Dr. Friederike Juliane Ihssen (Physics), Dr. Norina Christa Ullmann (Theology) and Dr. Philipp Mai (Political Science). They each receive prize money of 3,000 euros. The Fritz Grunebaum Prize of the Heidelberg University Foundation, which also comes with prize money of 3,000 euros, is awarded for outstanding work in the field of economics or business law. This year’s winner is Dr. Nina Benz (Law).

The Rector of Heidelberg University and Dr. Monika Vierheilig, Chairwoman of the Heidelberg University Foundation, will kick off the ceremony. The bioscientist Prof. Dr. Thomas Rausch and the theologian Prof. Dr. Thorsten Moos – members of the jury for the awards – will introduce the prizewinners and pay tribute to their work. The award ceremony will also mark the start of a two-day meeting to which – following the first networking event of this kind in 2019 – all award winners from previous years are once again invited. The program offers plenty of space for academic, professional and personal discussions.

Since 1990, the Heidelberg University Foundation has awarded these two prizes to young academics at Heidelberg University who have achieved outstanding research results. As a rule, the six best doctoral theses are honored each year. The multi-stage, university-wide selection process takes into account academic first theses from all subjects. To date, more than 180 people have been awarded these prizes.
