This prize of 10,000 Euros is awarded annually by the German states of Berlin and Brandenburg to a maximum of four applicants for outstanding innovations based on interconnected research. It is particularly aimed at supporting local companies and research groups (see the website of the award agency (in German only) for more information.

    Reports on this award for the KristMAG project can be found here (page in German only), here (page in German only), and here (page in German only).

  2. Nominated in 2004 by the section Physical Sciences of the Leibniz Association (page in German) for the yearly award for the best doctoral thesis of Leibniz Association researchers (the Leibniz Association has five sections and each section can nominate one candidate). The 2004 award went to the candidate of the section Environmental Research.

    Reports on this nomination can be found on Page 24 in the fourth 2004 edition of the journal Leibniz, the quarterly journal of the Leibniz Association (page in German) and in the article Mathematisches Neuland (Mathematics in Uncharted Territory, in German) of the online science news journal scienzz (in German only).
